Anatomical context of Minisatellite Repeats

  • Allelic variation at this VNTR locus correlates with steady-state levels of INS mRNA in pancreas and transfected rodent cell lines, but it is difficult to reconcile the association of lower INS mRNA levels in the pancreas with class III VNTRs that are dominantly protective from IDDM [20].
  • Insulin expression in human thymus is modulated by INS VNTR alleles at the IDDM2 locus [21].
  • To study the possible relation of MC with relapse, we purified different populations of leukocytes and analyzed their donor/recipient origin by a method based on polymerase chain reaction amplification of minisatellite DNA regions [22].
  • Search for maternal cells in human umbilical cord blood by polymerase chain reaction amplification of two minisatellite sequences [23].
  • We used polymerase chain reaction amplification of minisatellite sequences (33.6.3, MS51, YNZ22) and of a Y chromosome-specific sequence (DYZ1) to document prospectively chimerism in 23 leukemia patients grafted with non T-cell depleted marrows from HLA-identical sibling donors [24].
 

Associations of Minisatellite Repeats with chemical compounds

  • The VNTR region is associated with a SINE (short interspersed sequence)-type retroposon, SINE-R.C2, located within the third intron of the C2 gene [3].
  • We used the transmission-disequilibrium test (TDT) method to test for linkage disequilibrium between a specific allele (the seven-repeat allele (DRD4*7R) of the exon 3 VNTR polymorphic site) at the D4 dopamine receptor locus (DRD4) and expression of chronic multiple tics and TS [25].
  • Elsewhere we have reported an efficient method for isolating VNTR (Variable Number of Tandem Repeats) markers [26].
  • In two-dimensional (2-D) DNA typing, genomic DNA fragments are separated, first according to size by electrophoresis in a neutral polyacrylamide gel and second according to sequence by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis, followed by hybridization analysis using micro- and minisatellite core probes [27].
  • We demonstrate a robust association between cocaine dependence and a VNTR allele in SLC6A3, conferring a small but detectable effect, and we show that this VNTR may be functional [28].
 

Gene context of Minisatellite Repeats

  • Functional studies indicate, firstly, that the susceptible and protective HLA class II molecules HLA-DR and -DQ bind and present nonoverlapping peptides and, secondly, that the variable number of tandem repeats at the 5' end of the insulin gene (susceptibility interval IDDM2) regulates insulin expression in the thymus [29].
  • We examined the effects of mutations in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae RAD27 (encoding a nuclease involved in the processing of Okazaki fragments) and POL3 (encoding DNA polymerase delta) genes on the stability of a minisatellite sequence (20-bp repeats) and microsatellites (1- to 8-bp repeat units) [30].
  • Saccharomyces cerevisiae RAD5-encoded DNA repair protein contains DNA helicase and zinc-binding sequence motifs and affects the stability of simple repetitive sequences in the genome [31].
  • The rarer alleles of IL-4 VNTR and IL-1B (-511) appear to be associated with a less severe course in RA of long duration [32].
  • Here, we describe linkage investigations of the VNTR and ADHD in affected sibling pair (ASP) families and singleton families using both the transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) and a mean test of identity-by-descent (IBD) sharing [33].
