  • These genetic markers do not account for the totality of susceptibility to chronic kidney disease, despite a genetic association being established, causal pathways are incompletely understood. (news-medical.net)
  • Thus, understanding disease dynamics and selective pressures from pathogens is crucial to understanding population processes, managing wildlife diseases, and conserving biological diversity. (nih.gov)
  • Iron: key to individual differences in susceptibility to pesticide neurotoxicity? (cdc.gov)
  • It is the first however, to show that individual differences in susceptibility to PQ and probably other neurotoxicants are related to genetic differences in toxicant-based influx of iron into the ventral midbrain, especially in the SNc. (cdc.gov)
  • Abnormalities in an individual's genetic makeup cause genetic disease. (medicinenet.com)
  • This could help clinicians and genetic specialists to evaluate an individual's risk of disease, especially those at high risk of developing chronic diseases. (lshtm.ac.uk)
