This explains in part, the perceived sequence specificity in lieu of finding homologs as reported previously [ 17].
It is still necessary to demonstrate specificity of findings, i.e. that early onset MD are of specific etiological importance to ED and do not simply increase the risk of later psychopathology in general.
In an attempt to examine the reliability and specificity of findings across the two studies, we performed a joint analyses, which capitalized on the fact that shape was held constant across the two experiments, thus representing a control condition, sensitive to noise or spurious differences between samples.
Subjects with bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder were included in the analysis to test for the specificity of findings to schizophrenia.
However, the consistency of findings with regard to the single OH-PCB and the similar specificity of findings for the parent compounds would argue that these are not sporadic findings.
Lastly, subjective scoring systems to document laryngeal appearances suggestive of LPR have been used but have largely been discredited as the specificity of findings [ 15] and inter-observer agreement are poor [ 16- 18].
Although this is a relatively simple specimen to collect and comes directly from the infected site, the technique is not fully standardized and the specificity of findings for pneumonia versus other types of illness or infection has not been established.
26 Our decision to recruit people with TBI from a wide range of ages produced findings that are more transferrable across life stages, but potentially reduced the specificity of findings relevant to particular life circumstances (such as during young adulthood for instance).
However, the statistical evaluation of associations identified by Literature Lab help improve the specificity of findings (highlighting strong associations) while maintaining sensitivity (neither GOMiner nor MeSHer identified the association between FOSB and genes with differential expression between local and metastatic prostate cancer).
No differences were identified in the CCR6- compartment, thus stressing the specificity of our finding.
