| hereditary myokymia | A syndrome consisting of myokymia, hypoglycaemia, and disturbed thyroid function. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|
| generalised myokymia | Widespread myokymia, present in multiple limbs and often the face; of various causes, including Isaac's syndrome, uraemia, thyrotoxicosis and gold toxicity (gold-myokymia syndrome). (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| gold-myokymia syndrome | <syndrome> The symptom complex of widespread myokymia, muscle aching, and autonomic disturbances (excess sweating; orthostatic hypotension) that can result from gold therapy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| myokymia | Continuous involuntary quivering or rippling of muscles at rest, caused by spontaneous, repetitive firing of groups of motor unit potentials. Synonym: fibrillary chorea, kymatism, Morvan's chorea. Origin: myo-+ G. Kyma, wave (05 Mar 2000) |
| facial myokymia | Myokymia that appears in the facial muscles, causing narrowing of the palpebral fissure and continuous undulation of the facial skin surface; the latter is referred to as "bag of worms" appearance and is best seen with reflected light; due to intrinsic brainstem lesion, such as a pontine glioma or multiple sclerosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| limb myokymia | Myokymia present in one or more limbs; various causes, one of the more common being prior plexus radiation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |
