What's the difference between penetrance and penetrant?
Penetrance
Definition:
(n.) Alt. of Penetrancy
Example Sentences:

(2) Content of cyclic nucleoside monophosphates was decreased in all the eye tissues in experimental toxico-allergic uveitis as well as penetration of cAMP into the fluid of anterior chamber of the eye.
(3) After four years of existence, many evaluations were able to show the qualities of this system regarding root canal penetration, cleaning and shaping.
(4) testosterone, fentanyl, nicotine) may ultimately be administered in this way, important questions pertaining to pharmacology (tolerance), toxicity (irritation, sensitisation) and dose sufficiency (penetration enhancement) remain.
(5) The automatic half of both the motor which advances the trepan as well as the second motor which rotates the trepan is triggered by the sudden change in electrical resistance between the trepan and the patient's internal body fluid, at the final stage of penetration.
(6) Thus, although ferric-enterochelin cannot penetrate the cell surface from outside, the complex that is formed within the envelope is transported normally into the cell.
(7) Major limitations of the conventional sperm penetration assay are the inability to assess several aspects of sperm function (zona binding and penetration) and the absence of human ovulatory products known to influence fertilization.
(8) The cercaria, microcercous in type, is liberated and actively penetrates a second terrestrial pulmonate where development to the free metacercarial stage takes place in the pericardial cavity.
(9) The incomplete penetrance of the neoplastic phenotype and the monoclonality of lymphoid tumors suggest that tumor formation in v-fps mice requires genetic or epigenetic events in addition to expression of the P130gag-fps protein-tyrosine kinase.
(10) All of these factors make morbidity and mortality associated with penetrating injuries low.
(11) The treatment led to decreased spinnbarkeit, arborization and sperum penetration in the cervical mucus.
(12) The penetration coefficient, determined by the surface tension, contact angle and viscosity, is a measure of the ability of a liquid to penetrate into a capillary space, such as interproximal regions, gingival pockets and pores.
(13) The rational surgical methods of treatment in 85 patients with suppurative hepatic echinococcosis penetrating into the abdomen cavity are presented.
(14) This apparent lack of centrosomal staining was not due to problems associated with penetration of the antibody probes, since staining adjacent to and within the centriolar cylinder was observed when phosphoprotein antigens recognized by the MPM-2 antibody were localized.
(15) Both types of oral cleft, cleft palate (CP) and cleft lip with or without CP (CLP), segregate in these families together with lower lip pits or fistulae in an autosomal dominant mode with high penetrance estimated to be K = .89 and .99 by different methods.
(16) Cefuzoname seems to be among the middle ranks of beta-lactam agents as far as penetration rate is concerned; however, when its potent antibacterial activity and broad spectrum are taken into account, the concentrations in CSF in patients with meningitis seem worth examining.
(17) The time of sperm penetration in the mouse eggs, however, was delayed for one-half to one hour when ejaculated sperm were used.
(18) Enzymatic lability does not, however, play as important a role as lipophilicity in the corneal and conjunctival penetration of cycloalkyl and aryl ester prodrugs.
(19) No infection threads were found to penetrate either root hairs or the nodule cells.
(20) Kinetic studies showed that significant inhibition of virus production occurred when the inhibitor was added to infected cultures up to 5 h after virus penetration.
