Although english is possibly the richest language in terms of the number of words, it may not be the richest in terms of structure or conjunctive terms (terms used to string sentences together to build logical arguments). These are especially useful in science when we build logical argument and marry many threads of seemingly contradicting evidence.
Words like "however" and "since", to introduce nuance or causation, get used a lot in english, and even more so in scientific writing.
To avoid repetition, I've regularly looked up synonyms for these words.
I've now done this enough times, that I thought I might blog about it.
The differential bias between cases and controls is very likely be the result of batch effect as the case and control DNA samples were prepared and processed in two different centers.

We believe that those genes are unlikely to show association in the sample sizes currently available, in light of copy numbers greater than 2 being rare for all KIR genes.
However, given it is true that LD only accounts for presence/absence not for copy number (i.e. the LD pattern between 0 and 1 is the same as that between 0 and 2), the reviewer is right to remark that these genes cannot be definitively excluded based on the LD frequencies obtained from Allele Frequency Net database.
