| multiple epiphysial dysplasia | A dominantly inherited abnormality of epiphyses characterised by difficulty in walking, pain and stiffness of joints, stubby fingers, and often dwarfism of short-limb type; on X-ray examination, the epiphyses are mottled and irregular; ossification centres are late in appearance and may be multiple, but the vertebrae are normal. There is also an autosomal recessive form . Synonym: dysplasia epiphysialis multiplex. (05 Mar 2000) |

| multiple exostosis | A disturbance of enchondral bone growth in which multiple, generally benign osteochondromas of long bones appear during childhood, commonly with shortening of the radius and fibula; the ill-effects are usually mechanical but malignant change is rare; autosomal dominant inheritance. Synonym: diaphysial aclasis, hereditary deforming chondrodystrophy, multiple exostosis, osteochondromatosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| multiple fission | Division of the nucleus, simultaneously or successively, into a number of daughter nuclei, followed by division of the cell body into an equal number of parts, each containing a nucleus. (05 Mar 2000) |

| multiple gestation | <radiology> Incidence: 1% of all births, twins in 1:85; triplets in 1:85x85; etc, uterus large for dates, may have elevated hCG, hPL, and aFP, at risk for IUGR: monochorionic-monoamniotic more than , monochorionic-diamniotic more than , dichorionic-diamniotic findings: 2 placentas indicate dichorionic-diamniotic, 1 placenta indicates monochorionic pregnancy or dichorionic pregnancy with fused placenta, separating membranes confirms diamniotic pregnancy (12 Dec 1998) |
| multiple glandular deficiency syndrome | <syndrome> Acquired deficiency of the function of several endocrine glands, usually on an auto-immune basis. Synonym: multiple glandular deficiency syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |

| multiple intestinal polyposis | Begins usually in late childhood; polyps increase in numbers, causing symptoms of chronic colitis, and carcinoma of the colon almost invariably develops in untreated cases; autosomal dominant inheritance. In the Gardner syndrome there are extracolonic changes (desmoid tumours, etc.). Synonym: polyposis coli. Hamartomatous polyposis of the small or large intestine, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome with melanin spots on the lips, less common, miscellaneous, rare, and doubtful occurrences. Synonym: familial intestinal polyposis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| multiple lentigines syndrome | <syndrome> An autosomal dominant inherited disorder characterised by freckle-like spots (lentigines) on the trunk. Other findings may include wide set eyes, sternum abnormalities, prominent ears, deafness, cafe-au-lait spots, pulmonary stenosis, cryptorchidism, delayed puberty or hypogonadism. There is no treatment available only underlying management of each problem. Inheritance: autosomal dominant. (27 Sep 1997) |
| multiple lipoprotein-type hyperlipidaemia | <biochemistry> Inherited as a defective gene, this disorder is characterised by elevations in serum cholesterol and/or triglycerides. There are often multiple types of lipoproteins (LDL) elevated in one family. This condition is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Origin: Gr. Haima = blood (27 Sep 1997) |
| multiple mucosal neuroma syndrome | <syndrome> Multiple submucosal neuromas or neurofibromas of the tongue, lips, and eyelids in young persons; sometimes associated with tumours of the thyroid or adrenal medulla, or with subcutaneous neurofibromatosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
