Abstract excerpt
A rapid and sensitive microarray-based method was used to distinguish the three major circulating genotypes of varicella-zoster virus (VZV). The method analyzes five variable positions located in a 447-nucleotide variable region 1 of open reading frame 22 (ORF 22r1); these single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) display in stably occurring patterns specific to each of the VZV genotypes established in previously...
