| severe combined immunodeficiency | Group of rare congenital disorders characterised by impairment of both humoral and cell-mediated immunity, leukopenia, and low or absent antibody levels. It is inherited as an x-linked or autosomal recessive defect. About half of the patients with autosomal recessive scid are deficient in the enzyme adenosine deaminase. (12 Dec 1998) |
| severe combined immunodeficient mice | Mice that lack both T and B lymphocytes and are used for transplantation and study of human lymphoid tissues resulting in a SCID-human mouse chimera. See: severe combined immunodeficiency. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hyperlipidemia, familial combined | A disorder genetically distinct from the other inherited hyperlipidemias characterised by the type II or type IV lipoprotein pattern (the pattern may change from time to time and the lipid level may be normal at one time and abnormal at another time). (12 Dec 1998) |
| subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord | A subacute or chronic disorder of the spinal cord, such as that occurring in certain patients with vitamin B12 deficiency, characterised by a slight to moderate degree of gliosis in association with spongiform degeneration of the posterior and lateral columns.

| familial combined hyperlipemia | familial hyperlipoproteinemia |
| familial combined hyperlipidaemia | <biochemistry, endocrinology> Inherited as a defective gene, this disorder is characterised by elevations in serum cholesterol and/or triglycerides. There are often multiple types of lipoproteins (LDL) elevated in one family. This condition is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. (27 Sep 1997) |
