In germline, duplicated segments mediate nonallelic homologous recombination and thus cause both non-disease-causing copy-number variants and genomic disorders.
Metabolic disorders may result in the deposition of excess materials in the dermis and thus cause disease.
"Just How Far Can Trading of Emissions Be Extended?" (Business Day, May 31) says the Clear Skies proposal to reduce emissions from power plants "would eliminate some safeguards against local hot spots" and thus cause localized areas of unhealthy air.
The group A streptococci produce a variety of so-called virulence factors that permit them to evade the defense mechanisms of the host and thus cause disease.
Bubonic plague can severely reduce populations of prairie dogs and thus cause food shortages for black-footed ferrets, but it is unknown whether ferrets themselves contract plague.
Cilostazol inhibits PDE3 and thus cause intracellular cAMP accumulation.
These photons have the ability to break C C bonds and thus cause degradation in dielectric.
These radicals can attack their surroundings and thus cause degradation [4, 8].
Criminals can change as little as a single line of code in the malware they're using, and thus cause that malicious program to become basically invisible.
Current thermal breaks comprise stainless steel bars that penetrate the insulation layer and thus cause significant thermal losses.
Engineered nanoparticles (ENPs), contained in many materials, will inevitably enter coastal waters and thus cause unpredictable impacts on aquatic organisms.
