"background defect" is correct and usable in written English.
You could use it in a sentence like this: "The MRI showed a background defect in my patient's brain."
The discovery of disomy in strain CBS7779 raises the question of whether this strain is particularly prone to genome instability, perhaps due to background defects in chromosome replication and segregation.
On the MRL background this defect predisposes to severe autoimmunity.
Briefly, the background migration defect was 2.63 ± 2.32% (mean ± SD; data from seven trials, n ≥ 50 egg chambers per trial).
In a Δget1/Δget2 background, this defect was more pronounced; there was only modest Golgi staining and, instead, we observed cytosolic fluorescence and a few large punctate structures that were distinct from the Golgi, as visualized by Anp1-GFP staining.
Background: Birth defects are a leading cause of neonatal mortality.
Employing this identical nbs1 mutant but in an atm background, massive defects in early stages of meiosis occurred, implying a role for NBS1 in the control of meiotic progression which was independent of ATM signaling [ 23].
Here, we demonstrate that Nrarp-deficient embryos and mice exhibit genetic background-dependent defects of the axial skeleton.
We show that Nrarp−/− mice exhibit genetic background-dependent defects in patterning of the axial skeleton that are due to expansion of the caudal compartment of the somite.
The blue shift between the spectra of as-grown device and annealed only device is a result of interdiffusion due to background (grown-in) defect levels, whereas the shift between the annealed only device and device annealed after implantation is due to implantation induced differential band gap shift.
Several cases of striking cardiac hypertrophy were noted but this was probably related to the genetic background or the defect in H19, also being seen in the H19+/− maternal line on an Sdhd wt background.
