The roles of such common polymorphisms are worthy of study because, in terms of attributable risk and explaining familial aggregation on a population basis, they could be more important than the rare high-penetrance mutations in genes such as BRCA1 and BRCA2, or even BRCAX.
Modifications were made because of toxicity attributable to gemcitabine in eight patients and to flutamide in three patients.
However, the comparison between patients with development of GD during the first and the third trimesters did not achieve statistical significance, probably because of bias attributable to the small number of subjects.
The absolute scale is a more useful contrast to make in a public health context because it directly represents the number of attributable cases, and therefore the actual public health burden [ 6].
However, because of concerns about unmeasured confounders, our estimate of attributable-mortality from ICU-acquired BSI should be regarded as an upper estimate of any effect.
Only a few limestone high islands are found in intraplate situations; they include the islands of Nauru and Niue, which evolved because of lithospheric flexure attributable, respectively, to volcano loading and plate convergence (Hill and Jacobson 1989; Nunn and Britton 2004).
For example, discussions of well-being that do not take into account the perspective of disabled people may assume that their level of happiness or satisfaction is much lower than it in fact is, or that it is lower mainly because of difficulties directly attributable to impairments rather than attitudes and social barriers.
This means that the closest a SNP is to a segmental duplication, the strongest the degree of allele specific gene expression, probably because of regulatory effects attributable to SDs.
The double mutants were maintained only as heterozygous for rnt-1 because of the lethality attributable to protruded intestine through the vulva phenotype.
The renal haemodynamic, microvascular and metabolic responses to and morphological sequelae of sepsis remain inconsistent because of marked heterogeneity attributable to the use of different species, models of sepsis, experimental settings and supportive treatment.
