However, to date, relatively few of those genes have been identified that can be linked to specific phenotypes, and specifically to mental retardation.
Additional studies showed that mutations could be linked to specific genes and to specific effects on organ development.
The legal difficulty is in defining individual guilt; attempts to convict other SS members have failed in the past because they could not be linked to specific murders.
However, until now, there have been no studies investigating whether aphantasia can be linked to specific impairments in cognitive functioning.
These are often geographic (for example, forced labour is common in Thailand); they can be linked to specific commodities (see Verité's forced labour commodity atlas); and they result from the presence of labour migrants.
The authors said it was unclear why girls might be more affected than boys at that age but that it could be linked to specific aspects of father-daughter relationships as girls went through adolescence.
The macroscopic stress strain response appeared to be minimally affected by the variation in local microstructure, but the locations where damage initiated and propagated appeared to be linked to specific aspects of the local microstructure.
As regard LMNA gene, only tentative relations between phenotype, type and localization of the mutations have been established in striated muscle diseases, while laminopathies affecting adipose tissue, peripheral nerves or progerioid syndromes could be linked to specific genetic variants.
In conclusion, human Blastocystis was common in this village in southwest China, and different subtypes were associated with distinct transmission routes or sources of infection, and hence Blastocystis subtypes might be linked to specific environmental compartments.
No matter what tumour type, cancer cells display a number of characteristics that can be linked to specific molecular alterations and can be thought of as the "hallmarks of cancer".
Dr. Brenner, a witty, wide-ranging scientist whom some call the Father of the Worm, was honored for establishing C. elegans as a novel experimental system and using it to show that gene mutations could be linked to specific effects on organ development.
