| single stranded conformational polymorphism | Technique for detecting point mutations in genes by amplifying a region of genomic DNA (using asymmetric PCR) and running the resulting product on a high quality gel. Single base substitutions can alter the secondary structure of the fragment in the gel, producing a visible shift in its mobility. (18 Nov 1997) |

| single stranded DNA | <molecular biology> DNA that consists of only one chain of nucleotides rather than the two base pairing strands found in DNA in the double helix form. Parvoviridae have a single stranded DNA genome. Single stranded DNA can be produced experimentally by rapidly cooling heat denatured DNA. Heating causes the strands to separate and rapid cooling prevents renaturation. (18 Nov 1997) |
| single stranded DNA dependent ATPase | <enzyme> Probably involved in DNA replication Registry number: EC 3.6.1.- Synonym: ssdna-dependent atpase (26 Jun 1999) |
| single ventricle | Congenital absence or near total absence of the ventricular septum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dental implants, single-tooth | Devices, usually alloplastic, surgically inserted into or onto the jawbone, which support a single prosthetic tooth and serve either as abutments or as cosmetic replacements for missing teeth. (12 Dec 1998) |
| diseases, single-gene | Hereditary disorders caused by a change (mutation) in a single gene. There are thousands of single-gene diseases including achondroplastic dwarfism, Huntington disease, cystic fibrosis, sickle cell disease, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and haemophilia. Single-gene diseases typically describe classic simple Mendelian patterns of inheritance (as autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, and X-linked traits) by comparison with polygenic diseases. (12 Dec 1998) |
| DNA, single-stranded | A single chain of deoxyribonucleotides that occurs in some bacteria and viruses. It usually exists as a covalently closed circle. (12 Dec 1998) |
| abnormal heart chamber dimensions | <radiology> Left ventricular volume overload, left ventricular hypertrophy, right ventricular volume overload, right ventricular hypertrophy, fixed subvalvular aortic stenosis, hypoplastic left/right ventricle; common ventricle, congestive cardiomyopathy (12 Dec 1998) |
| air chamber | 1. A chamber or cavity filled with air, in an animal or plant. 2. A cavity containing air to act as a spring for equalizing the flow of a liquid in a pump or other hydraulic machine. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| altitude chamber | A decompression chamber for simulating a high altitude environment, particularly its low barometric pressure. Synonym: high altitude chamber. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anechoic chamber | A room designed to absorb all sound so as to eliminate all echoes; used for isolation and sound research on human subjects. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior chamber | The space in the eye, filled with aqueous humor, bounded anteriorly by the cornea and a small portion of the sclera and posteriorly by a small portion of the ciliary body, the iris, and that part of the crystalline lens which presents through the pupil. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anterior chamber cleavage syndrome | <syndrome> A congenital disorder originating from faulty separation of embryonic structures; it results in bilateral central corneal opacities, with an anterior ring attachment of the iridic pupillary border and anterior polar cataracts; associated with short-limbed dwarfism; autosomal dominant inheritance. See: iridocorneal endothelial syndrome. Synonym: Peters' anomaly. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior chamber of eye | The space between the cornea anteriorly and the iris/pupil posteriorly, filled with a watery fluid (aqueous humor) and communicating through the pupil with the posterior chamber. Synonym: camera anterior bulbi, camera oculi anterior, camera oculi major. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior chamber trabecula | Tissue at the angle of the anterior chamber through which aqueous humor exits from the eye. (05 Mar 2000) |
