Accurate Microsatellite Typing and Inter-study Comparison: Pitfalls and Solutions Using Interferon-γ (IFNG) and Natural Resistance-associated Mocrophage Protein 2 (NRAMP2) Genes as Examples

Microsatellite typing is frequently used in disease diagnosis and in genetic association studies. Inter-study consistency and comparability is essential in both applications. In this study, we show that the interlaboratory comparison of microsatellite sizes is often discrepant and misleading. This i...
