Abstract
Variable number tandem repeats (VNTR) within non-coding regions of a number of genes have been correlated with susceptibility to various disease states. In particular, a VNTR polymorphism of a 16 or 17 bp element within intron 2 of the human serotonin transporter gene has been correlated with a predisposition to affective disorders. We have demonstrated that this region will support differential levels of reporter gene expression in differentiating embryonic stem cells, this being dependent on the presence of 10 or 12 copies of the repeat. The VNTR domain can therefore act as a transcriptional regulator, a property which potentially contributes to disease susceptibility.
