| 영문 | renal cell carcinoma | 한글 | 콩팥세포암종 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 콩팥에 생긴 원시콩팥조직에서 발생한 암. 주로 원시세뇨관조직에서 발생한다. 대표적인 세포조직형은 염색시 세포질이 맑게 비어보이는 맑은세포암종이다. 치료는 수술과 항암화학요법이며 아주 드물지만 저절로 낫는 경우도 있는 것으로 보고되어 있다. |

| 영문 | squamous cell carcinoma | 한글 | 편평세포암종 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 편평세포 기원의 암으로서, 편평세포가 있는 어떤 곳에서든 발생가능함. 따라서 식도암, 피부암, 폐암, 자궁암 등이 여기에 해당된다. 특히 피부암은 많은 자외선조사에 의해 생기는 광선각화증에서 발생가능하다. 병리조직학적 특성으로서 각질을 생성한다. |

| human genetics | The study of the genetic aspects of humans as a species. Compare: medical genetics. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| sex determination (genetics) | Process in a given organism, by which the sex genotype is fixed. In humans, sex is established at the time of fertilization by the presence or absence of the y chromosome. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sos response (genetics) | An error-prone mechanism or set of functions for repairing damaged microbial DNA. Sos functions (a concept reputedly derived from the sos of the international distress signal) are involved in DNA repair and mutagenesis, in cell division inhibition, in recovery of normal physiological conditions after DNA repair, and possibly in cell death when DNA damage is extensive. (12 Dec 1998) |
| statistical genetics | The study of the applications of principles of statistics to problems in genetics. (05 Mar 2000) |
| q in population genetics | The frequency of the less common of two different alternative (allelic) versions of a gene. (the frequency of the more common allele is p). (12 Dec 1998) |
| quantitative genetics | The formal study of measurable genetic traits, traditionally but not necessarily confined to galtonian genetics. (05 Mar 2000) |
| terminator regions (genetics) | DNA sequences which signal the termination of transcription. (12 Dec 1998) |
| trans-activation (genetics) | Increased rate of gene expression directed by either viral or cellular proteins. These regulatory factors (diffusible gene products) act in trans -- that is, act on homologous or heterologous molecules of DNA. (cis-acting factors act only on homologous molecules.) (12 Dec 1998) |
| translocation (genetics) | A type of aberration characterised by fragmentation of a chromosome and transfer of the broken-off portion to another chromosome, often of a different pair. (12 Dec 1998) |
| transplantation genetics | Genetics as applied to the transplanting of tissues from one animal to another. (05 Mar 2000) |
| epidemiological genetics | The study of genetics as a phenomenon of defined populations by the criteria, methods, and objectives of epidemiology rather than of population genetics. (05 Mar 2000) |
| b and t cell count | A test that measures the respective quantities of B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes. This test is often performed in the analysis of an immune deficiency disorder. Normal values include: 68 to 75% of total lymphocytes are T lymphocytes and 10 to 20% are B lymphocytes. Increased T-cell counts can indicate infectious mononucleosis, acute lymphocytic leukaemia or multiple myeloma. Increased B lymphocytes can indicate chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, multiple myeloma, Waldenstrom's macroglobulinaemia or Di George syndrome. Decreased T-cells may indicate congenital T-cell deficiency, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome or AIDS. Decreased B-cells may indicate acute lymphocytic leukaemia or a congenital immunoglobulin deficiency disorder. (27 Sep 1997) |
| neoplasms, germ cell and embryonal | Neoplasms composed of primordial germ cells of embryonic gonads or of elements of the germ layers of the embryo. The concept does not refer to neoplasms located in the gonads or present in an embryo or foetus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| nevus, epithelioid and spindle cell | A benign compound nevus occurring most often in children before puberty, composed of spindle and epithelioid cells located mainly in the dermis, sometimes in association with large atypical cells and multinucleate cells, and having a close histopathological resemblance to malignant melanoma. The tumour presents as a smooth to slightly scaly, round to oval, raised, firm papule or nodule, ranging in colour from pink-tan to purplish red, often with surface telangiectasia. (12 Dec 1998) |
| T-cell-rich, B-cell lymphoma | <tumour> A B-cell lymphoma in which more than 90% of the cells are of T-cell origin, masking the large cells that form the neoplastic B-cell component. See: adult T-cell lymphoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
