| skin diseases, genetic | Diseases of the skin with a genetic component, usually the result of various inborn errors of metabolism. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|
| skin and connective tissue diseases | A collective term for diseases of the skin and its appendages and of connective tissue. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| skin diseases, bacterial | Skin diseases caused by bacteria. (12 Dec 1998) |
| skin diseases, eczematous | Any of a variety of eruptive skin disorders characterised by erythema, oozing, vesiculation, and scaling. Aetiology is varied. (12 Dec 1998) |
| skin diseases, infectious | Skin diseases caused by bacteria, fungi, parasites, or viruses. (12 Dec 1998) |
| skin diseases, metabolic | Diseases of the skin associated with underlying metabolic disorders. (12 Dec 1998) |
| skin diseases, papulosquamous | A group of dermatoses with distinct morphologic features. The primary lesion is most commonly a papule, usually erythematous, with a variable degree of scaling on the surface. Plaques form through the coalescing of primary lesions. (12 Dec 1998) |
| skin diseases, parasitic | Skin diseases caused by arthropods, helminths, or protozoa. (12 Dec 1998) |
| skin diseases, vascular | Skin diseases affecting or involving the cutaneous blood vessels and generally manifested as inflammation, swelling, erythema, or necrosis in the affected area. (12 Dec 1998) |
| skin diseases, vesiculobullous | Skin diseases characterised by local or general distributions of blisters. They are classified according to the site and mode of blister formation. Lesions can appear spontaneously or be precipitated by infection, trauma, or sunlight. Aetiologies include immunologic and genetic factors. (12 Dec 1998) |
| skin diseases, viral | Skin diseases caused by viruses. (12 Dec 1998) |
| genetic | <biology> Pertaining to reproduction or to birth or origin. (07 May 1998) |
| genetic amplification | A process for producing an increase in pertinent genetic material, particularly for increasing the proportion of plasmid DNA to that of bacterial DNA. Includes the production of extrachromosomal copies of the genes for RNA. (05 Mar 2000) |
| genetic assimilation | <genetics> A situation in which a characteristic that is normally expressed only in certain environmental situations becomes fixed in a population so that it no longer requires environmental factors to be expressed. (07 May 1998) |
| genetic association | The occurrence together in a population, more often than can be readily explained by chance, of two or more traits of which at least one is known to be genetic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| genetic block | <biochemistry, molecular biology> An obstruction in a biochemical pathway caused by a mutation that has crippled production of an enzyme critical to the pathway. (07 May 1998) |
