Article Synopsis
- - Tandemly repeated DNA sequences, previously labeled as "junk-DNA," can actually influence human traits by regulating gene transcription through structures like variable number tandem repeats (VNTR).
- - A study identified somatically variable VNTRs with enhancer-like characteristics located near the gene IFNAR1, revealing genetic diversity among cells from the same individual, particularly in breast cancer patients.
- - The findings suggest that these VNTRs might play a role in controlling gene expression within a group of related cytokine receptors and could be linked to diseases such as autoimmune disorders and cancer, highlighting their biological importance.
