What does TH01 mean on a DNA test?

What does TH01 mean on a DNA test?

The gene tyrosine hydroxylase 1 (TH01) has been suggested as a candidate for human longevity. A previous study has shown an association between longevity and specific alleles of the TH01 short tandem repeat (STR) polymorphism in an Italian population. This STR locus is also widely used in forensic genetics.

What are the 13 STR loci?

The 13 STR loci CSF1PO, FGA, TH01, TPOX, vWA, D3S1358, D5S818, D7S820, D8S1179, D13S317, D16S539, D18S51, and D21S11 have been selected as the core loci for use in CODIS (1).

What chromosome is TH01 on?

TH01

Other Names	Chromosomal Location	GenBank Accession
HUMTH01, TC11 UniSTS: 240639	11p15.5; intron 1 of human tyrosine hydroxylase gene Chr 11; 2.149 Mb (May 2004, NCBI build 35)	D00269; has 9 repeat units

What is a loci on a chromosome?

Listen to pronunciation. (LOH-kus) The physical site or location of a specific gene on a chromosome.

Why are 13 loci used?

Within the U.S., the 13-STR profile is a widely used means of identification, and this technology is now routinely employed to identify human remains, to establish or exclude paternity, or to match a suspect to a crime scene sample.

What is locus TH01?

TH01 locus, used for personal identification, is a polymorphic microsatellite region located in the first intron of the tyrosine hydroxylase gene (TH). This non-coding tetranucleotide repetitive marker is the subject of numerous studies on neuropsychiatric disorders, main schizophrenia and affective disorders.

Where is TH01 located?

intron 01
TH01 is a tetrameric short tandem repeat locus located in intron 01 of the tyrosine hydroxylase gene.

What is loci used for?

The method of loci (loci being Latin for “places”) is a strategy of memory enhancement which uses visualizations of familiar spatial environments in order to enhance the recall of information. The method of loci is also known as the memory journey, memory palace, or mind palace technique.

How do you find the loci of a gene?

Identifying Gene Loci

1. Change the search parameter from nucleotide to gene and type in the name of the gene of interest.
2. Choose the species of interest (i.e. Homo sapiens) and click on the link (under ‘Name / Gene ID’)
3. Scroll to the ‘Genomic context’ section to determine the specific position of the gene locus.

What does TH01 stand for?

TH01, a tetrameric short tandem repeat locus in the tyrosine hydroxylase gene: association with myocardial hypertrophy and death from myocardial infarction? TH01 is a tetrameric short tandem repeat locus located in intron 01 of the tyrosine hydroxylase gene.

What are the 13 CODIS Core Loci?

At the STR Project meeting on 13-14 November 1997, 13 core STR loci were chosen to be the basis of the future CODIS national DNA database (Budowle et al. 1998). The 13 CODIS core loci are CSF1PO, FGA, TH01, TPOX, VWA, D3S1358, D5S818, D7S820, D8S1179, D13S317, D16S539, D18S51, and D21S11.

What is the TH01 gene associated with myocardial hypertrophy?

TH01, a tetrameric short tandem repeat locus in the tyrosine hydroxylase gene: association with myocardial hypertrophy and death from myocardial infarction? Dis Markers. 2005;21(1):9-13.doi: 10.1155/2005/256254.
