Sentence examples for a proportion of heritable from inspiring English sources

Cases classified as 'non-heritable' may in fact include a proportion of heritable cases: ∼15 20% of unilateral cases are thought to be heritable, though only some will be recognised as such.

40 Finally, findings from twin studies strongly suggest that a proportion of heritable and nonheritable factors in MS are interactive rather than independent, indirectly supporting the importance of time to allow (presumably numerous and iterative) interactions to take place.

Known major mutations such as BRCA1/2 and TP53 only cause a small proportion of heritable breast cancers.

It is more likely that a substantial proportion of heritable breast cancer in both younger and older women is polygenic, resulting from the interaction of two or more coexisting alleles (Chen et al, 1995).

They reported that the proportion of heritable expression traits was similar in all tissues but concluded that heritability alone was not a reliable predictor of whether an eQTL will be detected.

However, both the high proportion of heritable transcripts in this selected set (90%) and their high estimated heritabilities demonstrate the utility of this approach for identifying transcripts whose variation has a strong genetic component.

Wilson et al. [ 19] reported that indirect genetic effects (IGE) increased total heritable variation, expressed as a proportion of phenotypic variance, from 0.01 to 0.6 for rearing rate and 0.05 to 0.56 for reciprocal latency rate.

Individual single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) effects tend to be small and explain only a small proportion of the heritable variation in a phenotype, making most SNP associations difficult to detect using the GWAS approach.

A model that included DGE and IGE fitted the data significantly better than a model with DGE only, and IGE contributed a substantial proportion of the heritable variation available for response to selection.

IGE contributed a significant proportion of the heritable variation available for response to selection (σ A T 2 ).

These variants have small effects on individual risk and do not account for a large proportion of the heritable component of the disease.
