Association between allelic variation due to short tandem repeats in tRNA gene of Entamoeba histolytica and clinical phenotypes of amoebiasis

- 9 alleles were found in DA, 8 in AL, 4 in NK2, 5 in RR, 10 in SD and 7 in SQ loci.
- Locus DA, AL, SQ and STGAD exhibited more variations as compared to other loci.
- Association was found b/w allelic variants and clinical phenotypes of amoebiasis.
- Study reveals association b/w allelic variation and clinical outcome of amoebiasis.
