Table 1 presents the results of the model fits for the different gender-specific models.
Based on these observations, it has been suggested that different gender-specific criteria be used in evaluating pH-monitoring results in adults.
Additionally, different maneuvers and positions performed by male and female dancers result in different, gender-specific stresses that could potentially be used to study the body's response to specific stress.
Along the same lines, several genes were identified that expressed novel isoforms in both ovaries and testes, either represented by the same novel isoform or two different gender-specific isoforms (Table S9).
This difference was previously attributed to the deeper coalescence for mtDNA compared to that for Y-chromosome lineages [ 38], however recent findings [ 39] indicates that these differences should be attributed to the fact that each uniparental markers may be detecting different gender-specific movements.
The number of cases in the different clinicopathological subgroups revealed no significant gender specific differences.
However boys were often quick to highlight mixed-gender might not be appropriate for all activities: "When you're playing rugby you couldn't have the girls there " (B, HA) and were more likely to view certain sports as gender specific: "Probably different, the boys at one thing and girls at a different, cause girls don't like football" (B, HA).
The gender specific differences are probably due to different effect of hypoxic ischemic insult in both genders.
We analyzed whether cytokine genes have different effect on GBM in gender specific population, and found that the allele "G" of rs2243248 in the IL-4 gene showed a decrease risk of GBM in female (OR = 0.35, 95% CI, 0.13 – 0.94, p = 0.0032), but the allele "T" showed a decrease risk in male (OR = 0.30, 95% CI, 0.17 – 0.53, p = 0.0032).
In addition, we also found one tSNP have different risk effect on GBM in gender specific population.
The high proportion of overweight and obesity specifically among women could be explained by different socio-cultural factors such as gender specific patterns of work activities and cultural standards of physical attractiveness [ 31].
