This is compared to the 3 4 polymorphisms which demonstrate a genetic susceptibility to depression.
Several experimental models demonstrate a major susceptibility to M. tuberculosis infection when IFN- γ production is compromised [ 4, 37].
Finally, we demonstrate a natural susceptibility of the intergenic region to recombine or delete, seriously threatening the integrity of the chl- fus gene for the future.
Although the present study did not demonstrate a higher susceptibility to periodontitis and revealed only a slight tendency of more periodontal inflammation in patients with MFS one has to consider the increased risk for developing endocarditis in Marfan patients [ 6].
Mouse models of Stz1 mutants, harboring a 300 kb deletion on mouse chromosome 2 including Kcnq2, Arfgap1, and Chrna4, demonstrate an increased susceptibility to seizures [16].
This is in agreement with indications that satellite cells derived from old rat muscle demonstrate an increased susceptibility to apoptosis in vitro (Jejurikar et al., 2006).
The results demonstrate an increased susceptibility of hemorrhaged animals to polymicrobial sepsis, as evidenced by an increased mortality rate of hemorrhaged animals following subsequent sepsis (mortality of hemorrhaged animals following subsequent sepsis 100% compared to 50% in sham animals subjected to sepsis) [ 19, 67].
Noroviruses also demonstrate a unique genetic susceptibility related to secretor histo-blood group antigens, so not all humans are equally susceptible to norovirus infection.
ILK−/− fibroblasts demonstrated a higher susceptibility to QLT0267 than ILKfl/fl fibroblasts.
Moreover, some data demonstrated a different susceptibility to NAHR among individuals.
Previous work has demonstrated a lower susceptibility to fungal pathogens in mutant plants that constitutively express PPO genes [ 39, 46].
