Amplification behavior of one chromosome locus (D17S5), widely used in identification studies, is investigated. The effect of preferable amplification of alleles, characteristic of this locus, often leads to an erroneous conclusion about homozygosity. Our studies showed, that along with the hazard of typing false homozygotes in analysis of locus D17S5, more intricate cases with genotype distortion can occur in expert practice, which may be characterized not only by partial loss of the true alleles, but even by amplification of nonspecific (nonallele) fragments simulating the false-heterozygotic allele profile. Analysis of the stability of amplification profile helps solve this problem.

Fetal nucleated cells in maternal peripheral blood are a non-invasive source of fetal DNA for prenatal genetic diagnosis. However, the number of fetal cells present in maternal peripheral blood is very small. Therefore, fetal cell enrichment is generally considered necessary to allow detection and subsequent genetic analysis of the rare fetal cells.

A new modification of DNA purification has been developed. It includes: 1) standard treatment of biological material with proteinase K followed by phenol-chlorophorm extraction; 2) subsequent sample purification using micro-columns packed with Dowex-50 and Sephadex G-50. Oligonucleotide primers often used for DNA typing in man by means of polymerase chain reaction have also been modified.

Multiple genetic and epigenetic alterations in oncogenes, tumour-suppressor genes, cell-cycle regulators, cell adhesion molecules, DNA repair genes and genetic instability as well as telomerase activation are implicated in the multistep process of human stomach carcinogenesis. However, particular combinations of these alterations differ in the two histological types of gastric cancer, indicating that well-differentiated or intestinal-type and poorly differentiated or diffuse-type carcinomas have distinct carcinogenetic pathways. In the multistep process of well-differentiated-type carcinogenesis, the genetic pathway can be divided into three subpathways: an intestinal metaplasia-->adenoma-->carcinoma sequence, an intestinal metaplasia-->carcinoma sequence and de novo.

This study reports the genetic variation at three variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) loci (APOB, D17S5 and D1S80) in two tribes (Thoti and Kolam) of Andhra Pradesh, India. Kolams constitute 1% of the total scheduled tribal population of Andhra Pradesh, while Thoti is a numerically small tribe. All three genetic loci were genotyped using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique and were polymorphic in both populations.
