Sentence examples for hereditary variants from inspiring English sources

Hereditary variants, favourable or not to the organisms, arise by mutation.

Natural selection, then, can be defined as the differential reproduction of alternative hereditary variants, determined by the fact that some variants increase the likelihood that the organisms having them will survive and reproduce more successfully than will organisms carrying alternative variants.

Epigenetic inheritance typically is holistic rather than modular in its storage and transmission (i.e., it is not comprised of units of information that can be changed independently of one another), and supports a limited repertoire of hereditary variants (e.g., the steady-states of a metabolic cycle).

The contribution of hereditary variants in the genes of transient receptor potential channels to neuropathic pain is unknown.

Mutations in the enzyme superoxide dismutase-1 (SOD1) cause hereditary variants of the fatal motor neuronal disease Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Genetic approaches that explore the hereditary variants for complex human diseases have significantly changed from family-based linkage studies, which traditionally mapped Mendelian disorders, to population-based association studies, which were aimed at capturing both common and rare variants for the complex diseases.

Defects in this system cause a hereditary variant of colon cancer.

"Congenital defects in mismatch repair are known, for example, to cause a hereditary variant of colon cancer".

Natural selection promotes the adaptation of organisms to the environments in which they live; any hereditary variant that improves the ability to survive and reproduce in an environment will increase in frequency over the generations, precisely because the organisms carrying such a variant will leave more descendants than those lacking it.

The hereditary variant makes up just 10% of all cases; in those cases, a defective gene, SOD1, is believed to churn out a protein that's toxic to neurons.

Hereditary genetic variants may affect a drug's pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics and account for differences in treatment response and adverse events among patients.
