Due to a limited amount of space within reef communities, encrusting sponges have a greater chance of competing with the coral for space, increasing the stress level of coral species, so those sponge species could add to coral
disease susceptibility.
Review of findings to date suggests that the genetic architecture of infectious
disease susceptibility may be importantly different from that of noninfectious diseases [20].
A previous work has already associated the TGFB1 polymorphism at codon 10 to Chagas
disease susceptibility in Colombian and Peruvian cohorts [25].
The IL6-174G/C polymorphism is associated with celiac
disease susceptibility in girls.
Disease susceptibility has been testified to be clearly attributable to genetic factors.
The different genetic factors are associated not only with
disease susceptibility but also with specific autoantibodies and disease phenotypes.

disease susceptibility gene RNF213 links inflammatory and angiogenic signals in endothelial cells.
The VEC rejected 15 rice hybrids due to poor paddy yield, BLB
disease susceptibility and poor grain quality.
The VEC rejected fifteen (15) rice hybrids due to poor paddy yield, BLB
disease susceptibility and poor grain quality.
One hypothesis discussed is that epigenetic changes, such as DNA methylation, alter gene expression and increase
disease susceptibility. In one study, newborn mice exposed to arsenic levels known to cause liver cancer showed altered DNA methylation and expression of genes related to the disease.
Scientists have long known that sleep is important for our health, with poor sleep linked to chronic illnesses,
disease susceptibility and even premature death.
"Through this novel approach, we aim to predict and preempt individuals from progressing to disease--before they get sick." DIA works to understand
disease susceptibility; carry out risk assessment; and tackle the origins of disease, such as genetic predisposition, environmental exposure and phenotypic alterations.
