| homology | <embryology, genetics> Two anatomical structures or behavioural traits within different organisms which originated from a structure or trait of their common ancestral organism. The structures or traits in their current forms may not necessarily perform the same functions in each organism, nor perform the functions it did in the common ancestor. They may even have become completely unused and therefore vestigial. Compare: analogy. (09 Oct 1997) |

| homocystinuria |
Homocystinuria, also known as Cystathionine beta synthase deficiency, is inherited disorder of the metabolism of the amino acid methionine. It is inherited an autosomal recessive trait, which means the child is to inherit the defective gene from both parents. This defect leads to a multisystemic disorder of the connective tissue, muscles, CNS, and cardiovascular system. ...
