How can you use “endophenotypic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
apoe gene, who are asymptomatic, but at risk for Alzheimer's disease have been shown to have a specific deficit in orienting of attention that is in the same direction as the Alzheimer's patients [ 28 ] . Other studies using endophenotypic measures of attention have linked variation in the chrna7 gene with sensorimotor gating performance [ 29 ] and variation in the drd4 gene with attention deficits [ 30 ] . However, the tasks used in these studies have not generally involved either the orienting network alone, or the task involves an undefined combination of different networks.
This suggests that the ANT is a suitable endophenotypic assay for further large scale studies on the genetics of executive attention.
The advantage of using an endophenotypic measure can be extended when information about the neuroanatomy physiology and development underlying performance on the task is available.
