| leukocyte adhesion deficiency | An inherited disorder (autosomal recessive) in which there is a defective CD18 adherence complex that disturbs leukocyte chemotaxis. It is characterised by recurrent bacterial infections and impaired wound healing. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| leukocyte-adhesion deficiency syndrome | <syndrome> Rare, autosomal recessive disorder caused by deficiency of the beta 2 integrin receptors (receptors, leukocyte-adhesion) comprising the CD11/CD18 family of glycoproteins. The syndrome is characterised by abnormal adhesion-dependent functions, especially defective tissue emigration of neutrophils, leading to recurrent infection. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lipoprotein lipase deficiency, familial | A rare familial condition characterised by massive chylomicronaemia and decreased levels of other lipoproteins. It is due to deficiency of lipoprotein lipase, an alkaline triglyceride hydrolase which catalyses an important step in the extrahepatic removal of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins from the blood. (12 Dec 1998) |
| luteal phase deficiency | Inadequate function of the corpus luteum that may prevent a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus or may lead to early pregnancy loss. (09 Oct 1997) |
