The results of the study showed that a genetic variation of GLUT2 is associated with differences in the habitual consumption of sugars both within and ...
New experiments at Cornell have verified a theory that variations in the distance between atoms in cuprate superconductors account for differences in the temperature at which the material begins to ...
... certain genes with disease, Dr. Hongyan Xu wants to ensure they are accounting for natural variations in those genes. "These differences can create some challenges in analyzing data," says Dr. Xu, ...
... . Some studies account for differences by using control groups who self-report similar ethnicities. But there can be wide variations because people are not always completely aware of their ancestry.
... in practice across England, reveals research published ahead of print in the journal Gut. The variation was not associated with how far the disease had advanced or how old the patient was, the data ...
... . One group had evidence of plaques in the brain, while the other did not. The investigators found that the variations in the gene are only associated with an increase in tau protein levels in the ...

A genetic variation could account for 11 percent of the caseload of H.I.V. in Africa, explaining why the disease is more common there than expected, researchers say.
