You can use it when describing a situation where someone is taking measures to reduce the amount of risk associated with an event, outcome, or task. Example: The financial manager modulated the risk associated with the new investment portfolio by diversifying across different asset classes.
miRNA studies provide mechanistic insights into genetic regulations that may modulate the risk of ASD.
Current evidence suggests that immune processes modulate the risk for cardiac involvement in HIV-infected persons.
XRCC1 is a scaffold protein critical for BER for which polymorphisms modulate the risk of cancer.
Genetic variation in ion channel genes, such as CACNA1C and CADPS2, may modulate the risk of ASD [59 61].
Identify clinical factors that modulate the risk of progression to COPD among asthma patients using data extracted from electronic medical records.
Because glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are the major detoxification enzymes which protect cells against oxidative stress, genetic variations in the GST gene may modulate the risk of POP.
A genome-wide association study (GWAS) has recently identified a novel single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs356182 at SNCA that can modulate the risk of Parkinson's disease (PD) in Caucasian ancestry.
Further investigations are necessary to clarify the possible long-term differences between oral anti-diabetic drugs in terms of genotoxicity and cytotoxicity, and how these can modulate the risk of developing diabetic complications in general and cancer in particular.
Our main finding is that genetic interactions modulate the risk for T2D in the Ashkenazi case-control sample.
These data indicate that genetic differences in oxidative events may modulate the risk and/or severity of RA, and that several mechanisms may be involved, some even working in opposite directions.
However, the majority of women have no obvious functional or anatomic risk factors predisposing them to ASB, which suggests that genetic factors may modulate the risk of acquiring ASB.
