Currently, very few epidemiologic studies support an effect of variations in maternal diet as currently encountered in industrialized countries on IUGR (Stein et al. 2004); however, in general it would be biologically plausible.
Our data support, in agreement with previous reports, an effect of AHI1 variation on the susceptibility to schizophrenia in central and southern European populations.
Using polygenic modeling we found evidence for an effect of mtDNA variation on total cholesterol and type 2 diabetes (T2D).
Although BvFT1 is known to respond to vernalization and is down-regulated by cold temperatures, which in turn enables induction of flowering [ 17], we also did not detect an effect of haplotype variation in this gene on bolting rate.
The time values 56.7 ka and 35.6 ka could be an effect of obliquity variations, and the other two time values, 22.8 ka and 19.6 ka, indicated the precession variations.
However, for the gas diffusion electrode, a particular effect of variation of the Pt active area as a function of H3PO4 concentration, is brought out by the experimental results.
Our data also indicate that circulating EPC number is influenced by variation in the SDF1 gene likely via an effect of the genetic variation on SDF1α expression.
We reveal a primary effect of variation in carbon dioxide partial pressure (pCO2) on early diatom diversification, followed by a major burst of diversification in the late Eocene epoch, after which diversification is chiefly affected by sea level, an influx of silica availability and competition with other planktonic groups.
This correlation might be an artefact of variation among studies in sampling effort, especially for vertebrates where small samples reduce apparent similarity across all comparisons, as well as a real effect of variation among studies in landscape heterogeneity and the presence of species with patchy distributions.
This is probably a synergistic effect of variation of temperature and relative humidity regimes and the presence of microbial biofilms.
