Example: "The study revealed a gradient of severity in the symptoms experienced by patients, ranging from mild discomfort to severe pain."
Alternatives: "a spectrum of severity" or "a range of severity".
These divergent predictions underscore the need for more experimental studies that manipulate diversity and stress along a gradient of severity.
One potential explanation for this disparity in results is that the effect of environmental stress may differ along a gradient of severity.
Based on the results presented here, a gradient of severity could be drawn for ADH: FH = PCSK9 > FDB > «Others».
Comparison of available clinical and biochemical data showed a gradient of severity for ADH-causing mutations: FH=PCSK9>FDB>'Others' genes.
A gradient of severity of clinical correlates and service use was present across headache subtypes; the greatest effect was for migraine with aura followed by migraine without aura, and then tension-type headache and unclassified headaches.
Although these various factors may have influenced the results, it remains possible that a gradient of severity is an independent observation and explains the variation between people's clinical phenotype.

The oxygen tension of the endosteum, a narrow compartment of the bone marrow directly adjacent to the bone, is less than 10 mmHg, while that of the sinusoidal cavity ranges between 30 60 mmHg; therefore bone marrow cells are subject to a gradient of hypoxia the severity of which depends on their location within the niche [ 3, 6].
