This suggests that some unknown factor modifies the effect of the APOE4 gene in different races, he says.
To determine whether IVF modifies the effect of fetal sex on growth.
It is possible that varied expression of OCA2 modifies the effect of reduced signalling though variant MC1R, such that red hair colour is not expressed.
The main aims of this study were to determine the relationship between social support and HRQOL and to investigate whether the SOC modifies the effect of social support on HRQOL.
Few studies have examined the association between social support and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among nursing home residents and whether the sense of coherence (SOC) modifies the effect of social support on health-related quality of life.
This damping variability modifies the effect of mistuning, and it can even result in a reduction of the mistuned forced response amplitude below that of the tuned case (this is not possible in the usual case of constant material damping).
It emerges clearly that closeness to Islam modifies the effect of North African origin.
OBJECTIVE: To determine if the presence of isthmic spondylolisthesis modifies the effect of treatment (fusion vs. multidimensional supervised rehabilitation) in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP).
By using findings from recent genome-wide association studies, we investigated whether the main environmental factor, education, modifies the effect of 40 single nucleotide polymorphisms on refractive error among 8461 adults from five studies including ethnic Chinese, Malay and Indian residents of Singapore.
CONCLUSION: The overall strength of evidence evaluating whether the presence of isthmic spondylolisthesis modifies the effect of fusion compared with rehabilitation patients with CLBP is "low". Fusion should be considered for patients with low back pain and isthmic spondylolisthesis who have failed nonoperative treatment.
In summary, our results indicate that BCG vaccination modifies the effect of the MCP-1 susceptibility allele G.
