UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
D009369 Neoplasms New abnormal growth of tissue. Malignant neoplasms show a greater degree of anaplasia and have the properties of invasion and metastasis, compared to benign neoplasms. Benign Neoplasm,Cancer,Malignant Neoplasm,Tumor,Tumors,Benign Neoplasms,Malignancy,Malignant Neoplasms,Neoplasia,Neoplasm,Neoplasms, Benign,Cancers,Malignancies,Neoplasias,Neoplasm, Benign,Neoplasm, Malignant,Neoplasms, Malignant
D010375 Pedigree The record of descent or ancestry, particularly of a particular condition or trait, indicating individual family members, their relationships, and their status with respect to the trait or condition. Family Tree,Genealogical Tree,Genealogic Tree,Genetic Identity,Identity, Genetic,Family Trees,Genealogic Trees,Genealogical Trees,Genetic Identities,Identities, Genetic,Tree, Family,Tree, Genealogic,Tree, Genealogical,Trees, Family,Trees, Genealogic,Trees, Genealogical
D011519 Proto-Oncogenes Normal cellular genes homologous to viral oncogenes. The products of proto-oncogenes are important regulators of biological processes and appear to be involved in the events that serve to maintain the ordered procession through the cell cycle. Proto-oncogenes have names of the form c-onc. Proto-Oncogene,Proto Oncogene,Proto Oncogenes
D004198 Disease Susceptibility A constitution or condition of the body which makes the tissues react in special ways to certain extrinsic stimuli and thus tends to make the individual more than usually susceptible to certain diseases. Diathesis,Susceptibility, Disease,Diatheses,Disease Susceptibilities,Susceptibilities, Disease
D004260 DNA Repair The removal of DNA LESIONS and/or restoration of intact DNA strands without BASE PAIR MISMATCHES, intrastrand or interstrand crosslinks, or discontinuities in the DNA sugar-phosphate backbones. DNA Damage Response
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D016147 Genes, Tumor Suppressor Genes that inhibit expression of the tumorigenic phenotype. They are normally involved in holding cellular growth in check. When tumor suppressor genes are inactivated or lost, a barrier to normal proliferation is removed and unregulated growth is possible. Antioncogenes,Cancer Suppressor Genes,Emerogenes,Genes, Cancer Suppressor,Genes, Growth Suppressor,Genes, Metastasis Suppressor,Growth Suppressor Genes,Metastasis Suppressor Genes,Tumor Suppressor Genes,Anti-Oncogenes,Genes, Onco-Suppressor,Oncogenes, Recessive,Tumor Suppressing Genes,Anti Oncogenes,Anti-Oncogene,Antioncogene,Cancer Suppressor Gene,Emerogene,Gene, Cancer Suppressor,Gene, Growth Suppressor,Gene, Metastasis Suppressor,Gene, Onco-Suppressor,Gene, Tumor Suppressing,Gene, Tumor Suppressor,Genes, Onco Suppressor,Genes, Tumor Suppressing,Growth Suppressor Gene,Metastasis Suppressor Gene,Onco-Suppressor Gene,Onco-Suppressor Genes,Oncogene, Recessive,Recessive Oncogene,Recessive Oncogenes,Suppressor Gene, Cancer,Suppressor Gene, Growth,Suppressor Gene, Metastasis,Suppressor Genes, Cancer,Suppressor Genes, Growth,Suppressor Genes, Metastasis,Tumor Suppressing Gene,Tumor Suppressor Gene
D018095 Germ-Line Mutation Any detectable and heritable alteration in the lineage of germ cells. Mutations in these cells (i.e., "generative" cells ancestral to the gametes) are transmitted to progeny while those in somatic cells are not. Mutation, Germ-Line,Germline Mutation,Germ Line Mutation,Germ-Line Mutations,Germline Mutations,Mutation, Germ Line,Mutation, Germline,Mutations, Germ-Line,Mutations, Germline
D019683 Penetrance The percent frequency with which a dominant or homozygous recessive gene or gene combination manifests itself in the phenotype of the carriers. (From Glossary of Genetics, 5th ed)
