Variant Quotations

I think most people played both variants and regular games. It was a period when variants were very popular and there were a lot more variants being played at that time. Every week practically, it seemed someone would publish a new variant in a zine.

I never feel so utterly fraudulent as when I review a movie whose charms impress all in the world and I simply do not get it. The other variant is that I love something the world disdains. This has had severe career consequences: I am still famous - or notorious - in certain quarters where I am recalled as the man who liked 'Hudson Hawk.'

Being a visionary is a new profession, but it is really just a variant on fortunetelling, which may be the world's oldest. And its marketing appeal is similar - people will pay for reassurance about the unknown.

The region of DNA identified in our study showed evidence of replication in four independent series of experiments. I haven't seen a putative risk factor show such consistent results since the e4 variant of the APOE gene was identified as a risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease more than 10 years ago.

There are things that lead you to believe this is not variant CJD.

Most people have a receptor that's very sensitive to the bitter-tasting compound, but in people that have this variant form, they can tolerate higher concentrations of this bitter compound without it tasting nasty to them.

I think the better bet is that we went into a geographical area that has a variant of these germs, that we're not familiar with, that we don't have any inherited immunity to,

Outward failure may be a manifested variant of inward success.

Test results showed it was not the variant form of CJD.

We did not see a widespread or fast spread of this in the first 24 hours. Over the last 24 hours, we've see variance, where other hackers will take the work and try to unleash a variant of the worm. So the worm continues to take on different forms.

There are many other examples. West Nile virus spread from insects to humans; the avian flu we are now so worried about comes from birds. Diseases also jump to domesticated animals such as cows - the human variant of 'mad cow disease', from rodents, and from many different species.

We are cautiously optimistic that the impact of the infection stage of this particular variant of the Code Red worm ... has been minimized.

African Americans with the variant come very close to facing certainty of having a heart attack.

African-Americans who have this variant are almost certain to develop heart attacks. If you remove this gene variant from the population you would remove almost 20 percent of heart attacks in Africans-Americans.

A common gene variant conferring elevated risk of (type 2 diabetes) has been earnestly sought by the genetics community for many years.

It's funny that on a little rock in the North Atlantic we found a gene variant that has so much impact on the risk of heart disease in a totally different part of the world. We may look a little bit different on the surface but we are all part of the same family.

Generally, 85 percent of the tests come back as the sporadic, or naturally occurring form, 14 percent come back as the familial form that is passed down through generations and less than 1 percent come back as the variant form. There's never been a variant case acquired in the United States.
