Example sentences for: differential

How can you use “differential” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • Previous studies have found evidence that genes may have differential variability of expression levels [ 15, 16, 17].

  • The nocturnin gene was discovered in a differential display screen for circadian gene expression using the retina of the African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis [ 35, 36].

  • Conflicting results have been reported from studies on the stroke risk factor status of genes related to myocardial infarction or arterial disease, such as specific genotypes of the genes for angiotensin 1-converting enzyme ( ACE ) [ 23 24 25 26 ] or apolipoprotein [ 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 ] . Potential confounding factors include the effects of comorbidity and differential mortality rates [ 34 35 ] . Although the degree of stenosis of the cervical internal carotid arteries in symptomatic patients correlates with risk of ipsilateral stroke [ 36 ] , no clear conclusions can be drawn from attempts to relate carotid artery disease to specific genotypes (for example, of the paraoxonase gene PON, which is thought to protect low-density lipoprotein against oxidative modification [ 37 ] , or of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene [ 38 ] ).

  • Cigarette smoking has not been consistently associated with breast cancer risk [ 12 ] . The elevated OR observed in this study for the highest quartile of pack-years smoked might be due to differential participation by controls with a lower pack-year history or differential reporting of smoking history by cases and controls.

  • As mentioned above, selection bias due to differential participation by cases or controls with some risk factor of interest is always a potential concern in case-control studies.
