Indicators
This gene plays a role in the regulation of telomere length.
Indicators
This gene is involved in repression of transcription. It plays a role in the formation of pre-plasma memory B cells and immunoglobulin-secreting plasma cells.
Glossary Term
A quantitative representation of the degree of accuracy necessary for or associated with a particular action.
Glossary Term
An expression of the likelihood that a given test result correlates with the presence or absence of disease.
Glossary Term
Chemicals that are added to drug products to prolong shelf life and maintain sterility. Protection of formulations, especially aqueous solutions, against microbial growth requires use of either antibacterial or antifungal preservatives. Generally, such agents are active against either bacteria or fungi but a few are active against both. The antimicrobials include but not limited to chlorobutanol, benzyl alcohol, sodium benzoate, sorbic acid, and phenol. The antioxidizing agents include butylated hydroxytoluene, hydroxyanisole, propyl gallate, and sulfites. The necessary addition of preservatives for both safety and economy sometimes has been associated with significant adverse effects in certain patient populations.
Glossary Term
The ratio (for a given time period) of the number of occurrences of a disease or event to the number of units at risk in the population.
Indicators
This gene plays a role in the regulation of protein kinase A.
Tests
The determination of the amount of proB-type natriuretic peptide present in a sample.
Glossary Term
General term for a piece of DNA or RNA corresponding to a gene or sequence of interest, that has been labelled either radioactively or with some other detectable molecule, such as biotin, digoxygenin or fluorescein. As stretches of DNA or RNA with complementary sequences will hybridize, a probe will label viral plaques, bacterial colonies or bands on a gel that contain the gene of interest.
Glossary Term
A program for the determination of laboratory performance where individual labs perform the same test on the same or similar items or materials, with the results from each lab compared and evaluated.
Tests
The determination of the ratio of progressive spermatozoa compared to total spermatozoa present in a sample. The measurement may be expressed as a ratio or percentage.
Indicators
A cyclic, nonessential amino acid (actually, an imino acid) in humans (synthesized from glutamic acid and other amino acids), Proline is a constituent of many proteins. Found in high concentrations in collagen, proline constitutes almost a third of the residues. Collagen is the main supportive protein of skin, tendons, bones, and connective tissue and promotes their health and healing. (NCI04)
