Genetic polymorphism in the central repeat rsegion (CRR) of Myanmar VK247 varaints. Sequence alignment revealed that the CRR of Myanmar VK247 variants showed polymorphic characters with 23 distinct haplotypes. A total of 8 different types of peptide repeat motifs (PRMs) were identified in CRR of Myanmar VK247 variants. Differences in numbers, types, and combinations of PRMs produced the high levels of genetic diversity of the CRR in Myanmar VK247 variants
