The phrase "alterations were identified in" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where changes or modifications have been detected in a specific subject or area, such as research findings or reports.
Example: "In the study, alterations were identified in the genetic sequences of the subjects."
Alternatives: "changes were noted in" or "modifications were observed in".
Sixteen different genetic alterations were identified in TSC1 and TSC2 genes in fifteen patients, giving a 88% detection rate by employing NGS technology.
Additional alterations were identified in different pathways, such as cell proliferation, cell junctions and neural development.
Consistent with the transient low level of expression, no phenotypic alterations were identified in the gravistatic receptors organs (utricle and saccule).
In agreement with the lack of Prox1 expression in developing sensory neurons at early developmental stages, no obvious phenotypic alterations were identified in the Prox1-null ears prior to E14.5 (Fig. 1B,C).
Eighty-seven unique somatic alterations were identified in 16 genes.
No non-synonymous sequence alterations were identified in these genes.
With this analysis, no recurrent chromosomal site to suggest large genomic copy-number alterations was identified in pediatric-type follicular lymphoma or pediatric nodal marginal zone lymphoma.
Overall, PIK3CA mutations were infrequently found, with non-synonymous coding sequence alterations being identified in 2 of 69 specimens (2.9%).
It explains why more significant alterations are identified in studies with small samples than in studies with large samples or in meta-analytical studies and why correlational analyses between behavioural measures and local GM volumes are more efficient in identifying anatomical alterations than analyses of group differences.
In addition, a control area of morphologically normal appearance on TrueFISP and PD TSE images, i.e. with preserved cartilage thickness, intact surface, and without intrachondral signal alterations, was identified in the same patient, either on the contralateral facet of the patella or at least two slices away from the defect in the cranio-caudal direction (control patient).
