Sentence examples for modifiers could act from inspiring English sources

Gene-specific modifiers could also act on the extent of the knockdown at a gene-specific level, in a manner akin to intragenic suppressors, resulting in variable residual activity of the targeted gene.

An interesting hypothesis is that the susceptibility genes for FTLD-TDP, e.g. TMEM106B, could act as modifiers of cognitive performance in ALS.
