Each SNP was tested as a quantitative explanatory variable, coded as 0, 1, 2. We used GWAMA (version 2.1) to implement fixed inverse variance-based methods for meta-analysis.
When CK-MB was tested as a quantitative trait, all eight SNPs remained significantly associated with plasma levels of CK-MB.
Prior to testing, the participants had to undergo clinical examination of both knee joints, including the Lachman and drawer tests, the pivot shift test, as well as quantitative measurement of anterior stability using the Rolimeter in 30° and 90° of flexion.
In the case of pain patients, suspect samples are subjected to a more sophisticated and costly kind of test known as a quantitative analysis.
Body weight (measured before the elevated zero-maze test) was treated as a quantitative covariate and analysed through an ANCOVA test.
The results of measurements of adhesive characteristics taken with the help of such methods as a cross cutting test, a quantitative peel test, a lap shear strength test, a contact angle test and a spreading radius test are discussed in terms of the three most common mechanisms of adhesion: mechanical coupling, molecular bonding, and thermodynamic adhesion.
In 2004, the German Robert Koch-Institute (RKI) and the German Association for the Control of Virus Disease DVVV) suggested that vaccinia virus and bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) should be used as test viruses in a quantitative suspension test to determine the activity of a disinfectant against all enveloped viruses.
Here we show that young adult female fXPCs show subtle, yet significant, age- and FMR1 gene mutation-modulated cognitive impairments as tested by a quantitative magnitude comparison task.
This contention has been corroborated through performance testing using lambda gDNA as a quantitative standard, which has generated many datasets illustrating the exceptional quantitative capabilities of real-time qPCR (e.g. Figures 5, 6 and 7; also see [7]; data not shown).
We used combined bisulfite restriction analysis (COBRA) as a quantitative test to study AJAP1 methylation in all cases [20], [21].
