Accurate microsatellite typing and inter-study comparison: Pitfalls and solutions using interferon-γ (IFNG) and natural resistance-associated macrophage 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...
