| septal defect, atrial | A hole in the septum, the wall, between the atria, the upper chambers of the heart. Commonly called an asd. Asds are a major class of heart deformity that is present at birth (congenital cardiac malformation). (12 Dec 1998) |

Failing; fault; imperfection, whether physical or moral; blemish; as, a defect in the ear or eye; a defect in timber or iron; a defect of memory or judgment.

| defect, enzyme | An abnormality in the protein (enzyme) important in catalyzing a normal biochemical reaction in the body. Disorders result from a deficiency (or functional abnormality) of an enzyme. Archibald Garrod in 1902 was the first to attribute a disease to an enzyme defect: an inborn error of metabolism. Today, newborns are routinely screened for certain enzyme defects such as phenylketonuria (PKU) and galactosaemia, an error in the handling (metabolism) of the sugar galactose. (12 Dec 1998) |
| defect, ventricular septal | Hole in the interventricular septum, the wall between the ventricles (lower chambers of the heart). Commonly called a VSD. VSDs are a common class of heart deformity present at birth (congenital cardiac malformation). (17 Dec 1998) |
