The FAM46A-specific VNTR consists of a consensus 15-bp sequence encoding a Glycine-rich 5-residue fragment, and the polymorphic FAM46A VNTRs have been associated with non-small cell lung cancer and susceptibility to tuberculosis as well as osteoarthritis in Croatian populations (Etokebe et al., 2014, 2015a,b). Here, TENT5A is linked to tuberculosis.
