121galactokinase deficiency — ga·lac·to·ki·nase de·fi·cien·cy (gə lak″to kiґnās) a form of galactosemia caused by mutations in the galactokinase gene (GALK1, locus: 17q24); deficiency of the enzyme results in accumulation of galactose in blood and tissues and… …
122glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency — a hereditary (X linked) condition in which the absence of the enzyme glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), which functions in carbohydrate metabolism, results in the breakdown of the red blood cells (haemolysis), usually after exposure to… …
123severe combined immune deficiency — SCID a rare disorder that usually manifests itself within the first three months of life by severe bacterial, fungal, and viral infection and failure to thrive. It is due to reduced numbers of T and B lymphocytes – white blood cells necessary for …
124iron-deficiency anemia — noun 1. : hypochromic anemia in which deficiency of hemoglobin in the individual red blood cells is the characteristic abnormality see chlorosis 2. : hypochromic anemia …
125folic-acid-deficiency anemia — Anemia resulting from too little folic acid, needed for red blood cell maturation (see erythrocyte). White cell and platelet levels are also often low. Progressive gastrointestinal problems develop. It may result from poor diet or from… …
126iron-deficiency anemia — Most common type of anemia, which may develop in times of high iron loss and depletion of iron stores (e.g., rapid growth, pregnancy, menstruation) or in settings of low dietary iron intake or inefficient iron uptake (e.g., starvation, intestinal …
127Alpha-galactosidase A deficiency — Fabry disease, a genetic disorder. The enzyme alpha galactosidase A is essential to the metabolism of molecules known as glycosphingolipids. Without the enzyme, glycosphingolipids accumulate in the kidneys, heart, nerves and throughout the body,… …
128Glucocerebrosidase deficiency — Causes type 1 Gaucher disease, a progressive genetic disease due to an enzyme defect. The enzyme, glucocerebrosidase, is needed to break down the chemical glucocerebroside. The enzyme defect leads to the progressive accumulation of… …
