genetic variant

Having a bad time could upset you, but if you were unlucky enough to have this particular genetic variant then it would really upset you.

Researchers found that this genetic variant was associated with a significant decrease in willingness to share.

Children of centenarians are more likely to have the genetic variant; they're also more likely to be lacking in the height department.

Because patients with a particular genetic variant might not respond well to that drug. Another example is the antibiotic floxacillin.

Overall, people with that particular genetic variant were 50 percent more likely to have RLS with periodic limb movements.

This genetic variant seems to predispose people to depositing visceral fat as opposed to the more benign subcutaneous fat.

The researchers are excited to have discovered a possible mechanism linking the genetic variant to the behavioral deficits in schizophrenia.

Persons with human serum albumin and a genetic variant are relatively common, whereas variant homozygotes are rare.

Because patients with a particular genetic variant might not respond well to that drug.

Researchers have long been aware of a genetic variant on the X chromosome that was linked to male pattern baldness, Richards said.

The researchers found one genetic variant was strongly associated with RLS with periodic limb movements.

A genetic variant on the X chromosome may explain why some HIV-infected women are slower to develop full-blown AIDS than men.

The researchers also found that iron levels were significantly decreased -- by as much as 26 percent -- in those with the genetic variant.

Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is the most common type of genetic variant in human genome.

Now scientists believe a genetic variant can make some people far more sensitive to fat molecules than others.

The Nature study highlighted one common genetic variant which, if corrected would cut cases of autism by 15%.
