"The results indicate that the mutation might confer a preference for alcohol," Gochman said.
In conclusion, results of the study showed that ACE-II genotype might confer a primary predictor for the occurrence of psychosis in l-dopa-treated PD.
This similarity may be attributed to the relative "easiness" of detection in this kind of scene and the fact that the high level of noise might confer a disadvantage on the MF but an advantage on the averaging filter.
The up-regulation of HSP-70 IHHNV might confer a certain degree of immunity in shrimp through activation of the toll-like receptor transduction pathway (Tsan and Gao 2004).
Deletion of such genes might confer a selective advantage during infection or transmission in vaccinated population.
For the abovementioned reasons, it could be speculated that the shift towards more efficient aerobic metabolism associated with the XX genotype might confer a 'survival advantage'.
These results suggested that bcl-2 overexpression might confer a resistance of HIF-1α protein from the degradation induced by the 17-AAG.
Although it is not clear how much B. parapertussis contributes to the resurgence of whooping cough, the low efficacy of current vaccines against this bacterium might confer a selective advantage to B. parapertussis, relative to B. pertussis.
Alternatively, some prophages such as the Nf1/MDA prophage might confer a fitness advantage as they might act as mutators on meningococcal chromosome structure [14], [27] and thereby increase the genetic variability of the meningococcal population.
Functional annotation analysis pointed to a strong impact of these dysregulated ETS factors on the prostate cancer transcriptome with specific enrichment of genes linked to cell adhesion, invasion and migration, which might confer a more aggressive phenotype to these tumors.
Additionally, the final model indicates that HLA-B*57 alleles might confer a greater protective effect on early viral replication than HLalleleslleles (Coefficient values in model 6 in Table 2 for B*57 was −0.82, whereas it was HLA-C5' −0.08 and −0.26 for heterozygosity and homozygosity for the HLA-C5'-C allele).
