Abstract:Objective: Inter-retrotransposon polymorphism Polymerase Chain Reaction (IRAP-PCR) technique allows for detecting insertional polymorphisms via amplification of the DNA fragment between two retrotransposons in plant genomes. However, this method has not been reported to be used for analyzing human samples to date. Recently, Human Endogenous Retrovirus (HERV) polymorphisms gained interest due to their potential effect on pathophysiology of certain diseases. Nevertheless, the association between HERV polymorphis… Show more
