| anticipation |
The phenomenon whereby disease severity increases with each passing generation. Since disease severity is often difficult to measure, anticipation is frequently measured in terms of patient-reported age-of-onset of the disorder. For example, in a disease showing anticipation, a grandchild may have earlier onset than their parent who has earlier onset than their grandparent. Source : PhRMA Genomics
