Molecular genetic analysis of DNA by PCR-VNTR was performed in a family with hereditary retinoblastoma presenting some difficulties in pedigree analysis. PCR-VNTR allowed to perform a more accurate counselling in this family. Analysis of the way of transmission, carrier status exclusion (in two persons) and confirmation (in one) was possible only by VNTR-PCR.

Relapse remains the major pitfall to success for Allo-HSCT in children with malignancies. Ninety-one patients undergoing Allo-HSCT were retrospectively reviewed. Chimerism status was evaluated at days +30, +60, and +100 in PB.

Sclerodermatous specimens obtained from a patient with extensive cGvHD after an HLA-identical sibling bone marrow transplantation were cultured in order to derive tissue myofibroblasts. All proliferating a-SMA+ fibroblastoid cells revealed recipient origin as examined by variable number tandem repeat (VNTR)-PCR.

The aim of the present study is to evaluate the efficiency of three methods to determine the molecular diversity of 34 Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) strains isolated from 17 cattle herds. The applied methods included the analysis of sequence polymorphism of the mononucleotide (G1 and G2) and trinucleotide sequences (GGT) of the Short Sequence Repeats (SSR) and the determination of size polymorphism of 9 different Mycobacterial Interspersed Repetitive Units (MIRU) and 6 Variable Number Tandem Repeats (VNTR).
