The phrase "a positive replication" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to research, experiments, or studies where results are confirmed or supported by additional evidence.
Example: "The study's findings were strengthened by a positive replication conducted by an independent research team."
Alternatives: "a successful replication" or "a confirming replication".
Therefore, a positive replication of the findings by Mencía et al. is still lacking.
The same research group also reported a positive replication in a sample of 488 Hungarian schizophrenic trios [ 19].
The single-peak fitness landscape has the unrealistic property that all sequences have a positive replication rate, that is, there are no lethal mutants.
Although the PIP5K1B locus was significant at P < 0.05, the direction of effect was not consistent with a previous report by Köttgen et al. 4 and hence this cannot be regarded as a positive replication of this SNP for its association with eGFR and time to CKD stage 3B.
Hence, we suspect that GCN5 is a major positive replication factor independently of its activity on centromeres.
Only a very low number of risk variants have been shown to present a consistent pattern of positive replication through independent studies [ 4- 8].
Besides this positive replication, as a novel feature, our preliminary findings also suggest a cardiovascular risk role of the GCKR minor allele carriage based on the carotid intima-media thickness association.
While PPV increases with the increasing number of positive replication studies, each non-replicated study may dramatically decrease the PPV value.
Despite the positive replication signals in two populations and a trend for association in the third, we are aware of the tentative nature of the detected association.
This positive replication validated further in-depth analyses of TMEM106B as a novel risk factor for FTLD.
Five SNPs were chosen based on positive replication from stage 2 along with three neighboring markers (for a detailed description see Materials and Methods section).
