Example: "The study revealed a certain susceptibility to stress among employees during peak work periods."
Alternatives: "a particular vulnerability" or "a specific openness".
The proposed method obtains the perturbation of susceptibility by multiplying some susceptibility with the probability tomography result of misfits in observed data and forward data given a certain susceptibility model.
While normal aging might entail a certain susceptibility to general taste impairment, at times the impairment can be quality specific [28].
According to Equation (1), this gives a certain susceptibility index.
The commission of Lower Saxony (Wichmann and Greiser 2004) concluded that there is no association between childhood leukemia and the emissions during the normal operations of the nuclear facilities in the Elbmarsch and suggested that not all local risk factors may have been identified and investigated and/or that the people living in this area may carry a certain susceptibility for leukemia.
Although a certain susceptibility of the postnatal IGF2 dmethylationtion pattern to environmental factors during early developmental stages was also reported by other groups [ 9, 10], it is not known whether such small methylation changes (IGF2 dmeanSN3 mean difference in our cohort: + 1.87% in donors) can significantly alter the complex regulation of gene transcription at 11p15.
Other forms of arthritis, like reactive arthritis, are set off by infection but a person needs to have certain susceptibility factors for this to occur.
Thus, certain sub-strains of BCG might induce a modest protective immunity that could slightly modify the effect of certain susceptibility genotypes.
Alternatively, certain BCG sub-strains may induce an overwhelmingly intense pro-inflammatory recalled response to mycobacterial antigens that in turn may promote tissue damage independent of the effect of certain susceptibility genotypes.
Identification of certain susceptibility genes for BPAD could be facilitated by studying rare families where the disease co-segregates with a chromosomal abnormality among multiple affected relatives [ 2].
Although GWAS have indeed identified certain susceptibility genes for many diseases, the genes thus far discovered mostly have been associated with small to modest effects [ 1- 5].
It is possible that the prevalence of certain susceptibility gene variants, such as Pro12Ala in PPAR-gamma gene that has been associated with type 2 diabetes risk and its intermediate traits [ 46, 47], may vary by race/ethnicity [ 48].
