Comparative Genomic Conservation of the VNTR. Sequence alignment of the VNTR across the primate lineage shows high conservation of the region and the expansion from 2 repeats to 3 repeats in the human line. This human lineage specific VNTR expansion may contribute to associations with the MIR137HG region and intelligence as well as associations with SZ and ASD.
