| lethal coefficient | <microbiology> That concentration of disinfectant that kills bacteria at 20-25캜 in the shortest period of time. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| lethal dose | <pharmacology> The amount, or dosage, of a toxin necessary to cause death. (16 Mar 1998) |
| lethal dose 50 | <pharmacology> The amount, or dosage, of a toxin necessary to kill 50% of the experimental subjects. (16 Mar 1998) |
| lethal dwarfism | Dwarfism leading to intrauterine or neonatal death. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lethal equivalent | A combination of selective effects that on average have the same impact on the composition of the gene pool as one death; e.g., two carriers at 50% risk of dying would be the lethal equivalent of one carrier at 100% risk, in the population genetics of recessive traits lethal equivalent is expressed as twice the sum of the expected number of deaths ascribable to the genetic load. Expression used of the genetic load of recessive genes in heterozygous state that if in homozygous state would cause death or carry a risk of death. The expected number of deaths from all such genes is expressed in lethal equivalent. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lethal factor | A disorder that prevents effective reproduction by those affected; e.g., Klinefelter syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lethal gene | A gene that produces a genotype that leads to death of the organism before reproduction is possible or that precludes reproduction; for a recessive gene the homozygous or hemizygous state is lethal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lethal midline granuloma | Destruction of the nasal septum, hard palate, lateral nasal walls, paranasal sinuses, skin of the face, orbit and nasopharynx by an inflammatory infiltrate with atypical lymphocytic and histiocytic cells; presumably a form of lymphoma in most cases. An obsolete term for polymorphic reticulosis. Synonym: granuloma gangrenescens, malignant granuloma, midline malignant reticulosis granuloma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lethal mutation | <genetics, molecular biology> Mutation that eventually results in the death of an organism carrying the mutation. (18 Nov 1997) |
