By affecting the association of the C subunit with regulatory subunits in vivo, methylation is predicted to alter the targeting of PP2A to certain substrates and, as a consequence, potentially impact a wide range of signalling pathways [26].
Our synthetic interaction studies suggest that SA and SE mutations affect partially both dynein and Kar9p pathways, maybe by affecting the association of cMTs with specific effectors of each pathway.
The two studies were comprised of completely different ethnic groups (one study had U.S. citizens with significant genetic heterogeneity, while the current study was more homogeneous with all participants of Chinese descent); thus, ethnicity/race may be an independent factor affecting the association of the distribution of MTDH SNPs and breast cancer development.
BMI is known to interact biologically with estrogen therapy, thereby affecting the association of estrogen with breast cancer risk, shown for example in the Million Women Study [ 3].
To search for relationship QTLs (relQTLs) affecting the association of the physical activity traits with body weight, we used a modification of the regression approach described above.
The cationic charge affects the association ability of the FQ group and the one-ended FQEn behaves like PEO modified with a C6F13-group through urethane linkage.
As this stratification significantly affected the association of BMI with pasta intake (from positive un-stratified association to negative associations in different body weight groups after stratification), further regression analysis was performed.
As shown in Supplementary Table 3, stratified analyses by gender and by follow-up duration significantly affected the association between Mediterranean diet score (median vs. low) and the incident risk of cognitive disorders (P-value for difference < 0.05).
