Objective: The role of short tandem repeats (STRs) in the control of gene expression among species is being increasingly understood following the identification of several instances in which certain STRs occur identically, or expand differentially, in primates versus nonprimates. These STRs may regulate genes that participate in characteristics that are associated with the divergence of primates from sibling orders (e.g.

- Neurological disorders are complex diseases affecting neuron cell development and function, with SNPs (single-nucleotide polymorphisms) playing a key role as risk factors.
- The RIT2 gene has been linked to several neurological conditions, including Parkinson's disease and autism.
- A study found significant associations between specific RIT2 SNPs (rs12456492 and rs16976358) and various disorders, suggesting that different SNPs are linked to distinct neurological diseases.
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder. Both genetic and environmental factors are involved in the etiology of the disease. Many studies have revealed the susceptibility genes and variations for PD which need further confirmation.
