Variables identified to be present in fewer than ten patients were also removed (i.e., near drowning, thoracic surgery).
These experiments demonstrated that while these genes appeared to be present in fewer cells than Sfrp2, the kinetics of their expression did parallel that of Sfrp2 (Figure 4E J and data not shown).
The presence of additional putative members of this protein family that were not regulated in this study, suggests that S. solfataricus has developed specialized roles for this important class of protein, or that it is regulated only at the protein level and is present in few copies per cell.
In non-cancerous tissues, Bmi-1 protein staining was present in few cells, and the protein staining was very weak (Fig. 3A, B).
In a given genome, some TE families are present in few copies, while others can reach hundreds of thousands of copies.
Measurable amounts of NP were present in few of the kidney fat samples, and so statistical analysis of these data was not conducted.
Interestingly some denitrification genes are present in few strains belonging to subgroups III, IV and V, which might indicate horizontal gene transfer.
The BBP prevention system is present in few tertiary care hospitals and none of the first level care facilities [ 15, 26].
Human genes whose orthologs are present in few species closely related to human and chimp are more primate lineage-specific than those genes whose orthologs are present in more distantly distributed species.
It is also interesting to note that the T risk allele and the TT risk genotype were present in few centenarians, suggesting that they were not able to foster the T2D phenotype, likely because of being counteracted by healthy lifestyle.
