The phrase "a gene that influence" is not correct in written English.
It should be "a gene that influences" to agree in number with the singular noun "gene."
Example: "Researchers have identified a gene that influences the development of certain traits in plants."
Alternatives: "a gene that affects" or "a gene that determines."
It is highly unlikely that complex traits can be reduced to "a gene that influences intelligence...
The study of more than 2,500 Americans revealed two variants of a gene that influenced how satisfied – or dissatisfied – people were with their lot.
"This is not specifically a breast-feeding gene but a gene that influences how we process nutrients," said Avshalom Caspi of King's College London and Duke, who led the study.
A report launched today by scientists at the Medical Research Council (MRC) and London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine found that a mother's nutritional status at the time of conception can permanently change the function of a gene that influences her child's immunity and cancer risks.
Furthermore, identifying a gene that influences a behaviour does not imply that the behaviour is inevitable; there is considerable variation among behaviours in the relative importance of the individual's genetic constitution and its environment to the expression of the behaviour.
We found that a significant OSA result may be due to a gene that influences variability in the population distribution of a continuous disease risk factor.
To determine if transferrin saturations in African Americans may reflect the presence of a gene that influences iron metabolism, we analyzed the distribution of these values in 808 African Americans from the second National Health and Nutrition Survey.
Thanks to a variation in a gene that influences the development of their retinas, people like Antico can see colours invisible to most of us.
Now, thanks to a mix of anthropology and genetics, researchers have found a gene that influences the risk of developing the disease.
A proportion of.009 was included in a subpopulation with a mean +/- standard deviation transferrin saturation of 63.4% +/- 5.7% (postulated homozygotes for a gene that influences iron metabolism), while a proportion of.136 had an intermediate saturation of 38.0% +/- 5.7% (postulated heterozygotes) and.856 a saturation of 24.6% +/- 5.7% (postulated normal homozygotes).
