Tandem Repeat Polymorphisms<br />
Tandem repeats or variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) are a very<br />
common class of polymorphism, consisting of variable length of sequence<br />
motifs that are repeated in tandem in a variable copy number.<br />
VNTRs are subdivided into two subgroups based on the size of the<br />
tandem repeat un<strong>it</strong>s.<br />
Microsatell<strong>it</strong>es or Short Tandem Repeat (STR)<br />
repeat un<strong>it</strong>: 1-6 (dinucleotide repeat: CACACACACACA)<br />
Minisatell<strong>it</strong>es<br />
repeat un<strong>it</strong>: 10-100
