| linear atrophy | Bands of thin wrinkled skin, initially red but becoming purple and white, which occur commonly on the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs at puberty and/or during and following pregnancy, and result from atrophy of the dermis and overextension of the skin; also associated with ascites and Cushing's syndrome.

| linear dichroism | <chemistry> Differential absorption of right hand and left hand circularly polarized light resulting from molecular asymmetry involving a chromophore group. Circular dichroism is used to study the conformation of proteins in solution. (18 Nov 1997) |

| linear epidermal nevus | A congenital systematised linear nevus limited to one side of the body or to portions of the extremities on one side; lesions are often extensive, forming wave-like bands on the trunk and spiraling streaks on the extremities. Synonym: linear epidermal nevus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| linear fracture | A fracture running parallel with the long axis of the bone. Synonym: fissured fracture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| linear IgA bullous disease in children | A rare self-limiting bullous disease, chiefly of the trunk, perioral, and pelvic areas, with onset in the first decade, successively less severe recurrences, and total remission at adolescence; linear epidermal basement membrane zone deposit of IgA is found in involved and in normal skin. Synonym: linear IgA bullous disease in children. (05 Mar 2000) |
| linear models | Statistical models in which the value of a parameter for a given value of a factor is assumed to be equal to a + bx, where a and b are constants. The models predict a linear regression. (12 Dec 1998) |
