| elliptocytosis, hereditary | An intrinsic defect of erythrocytes inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. The erythrocytes assume an oval or elliptical shape. (12 Dec 1998) |

| elliptocytosis | Haematologic disorder characterised by elliptically shaped red blood cells (elliptocytosis) with variable breakup of red cells (haemolysis) and varying degrees of anaemia. Inherited as a dominant trait. Due to mutation (change) in one of the genes encoding proteins of the red cell membrane skeleton. In 1956 Newton Morton brilliantly showed that there were at least 2 forms of elliptocytosis, one form unlinked to the Rh blood group and another form linked to Rh (now known to be on chromosome 1). The Rh-linked form, (EL1) in chromosome region 1p34.2-p33 is due to a mutation in erythrocyte membrane protein 4.1. Forms of elliptocytosis not linked to Rh are due to mutations in the alpha-spectrin gene, the beta-spectrin gene, or the band 3 gene. (12 Dec 1998) |

| Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy | An inherited form of hyperparathyroidism associated with ectopic calcification and ossification and skeletal defects, notably the small fourth metacarpals, but intelligence is normal. There are dominant, recessive and X-linked forms. See: pseudohypoparathyroidism. Synonym: Albright's syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angioedema, hereditary | A genetic form of angioedema. (Angioedema is also referred to as Quinke's disease.) Persons with it are born lacking an inhibitor protein (called C1 esterase inhibitor) that normally prevents activation of a cascade of proteins leading to the swelling of angioedema. Patients can develop recurrent attacks of swollen tissues, pain in the abdomen, and swelling of the voice box (larynx) which can compromise breathing. The diagnosis is suspected with a history of recurrent angioedema. It is confirmed by finding abnormally low levels of C1 esterase inhibitor in the blood. Treatment options include antihistamines and male steroids (androgens) that can also prevent the recurrent attacks. Also called hereditary angioneurotic oedema. (12 Dec 1998) |

| canine hereditary blindness | An autosomal dominant condition seen in dogs of the collie and several other breeds. (05 Mar 2000) |
| colourectal neoplasms, hereditary nonpolyposis | A syndrome characterised by autosomal dominant inheritance, a low mean age (41 years) for occurrence of colon cancer, and a marked increase in the proportion of tumours in the proximal colon. (12 Dec 1998) |
| corneal dystrophies, hereditary | Bilateral hereditary disorders of the cornea, usually autosomal dominant, which may be present at birth but more frequently develop during adolescence and progress slowly throughout life. Central macular dystrophy is transmitted as an autosomal recessive defect. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hereditary | <genetics> Transferred via genes from parent to child. (16 Dec 1997) |
| hereditary amyloidosis | <neurology> A disorder in which various peripheral nerves are infiltrated with amyloid and their functions disturbed, an abnormal prealbumin is also formed and is present in the blood; characteristically, it begins during mid-life and is found largely in persons of Portuguese descent. Other rare clinical types occur. Inheritance: autosomal dominant. Synonym: familial amyloidosis, hereditary amyloidosis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| hereditary areflexic dystasia | A rare autosomal dominant neurological disorder with many of the clinical features of hereditary hypertrophic sensorimotor polyneuropathy combined with an essential tremor. Synonym: hereditary areflexic dystasia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hereditary ataxia | A simple autosomal recessive trait in fox terrier dogs that produces a progressive general ataxia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hereditary benign intraepithelial dyskeratosis | An autosomal dominant condition consisting of white spongy lesions of the buccal mucosa, floor of the mouth, ventral lateral tongue, gingiva and palate. Transient gelatinous plaques form over the cornea, which may produce temporary blindness, hereditary benign intraepithelial dyskeratosis. Synonym: hereditary benign intraepithelial dyskeratosis.
