Heterozygous

Most statins are approved for use in children with an inherited cholesterol disorder called heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, which causes very high levels of LDL in the blood—along the lines of over 500 mg/dL, leading to artery damage and possibly heart attacks at a relatively young age. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The newly identified victim, who died in January after suffering symptoms of personality change, memory loss, unsteadiness and visual hallucinations, had the "heterozygous" MV form. ❋ Unknown (2009)

But no problems seemed to occur in genes that were immediately medically important, or if they did, Watson was heterozygous, meaning he had one good copy of the gene. ❋ Kevin Davies (2010)

Statins are approved by the FDA for use only in kids who have an inherited cholesterol condition heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia that causes very high levels of LDL in the blood—along the lines of over 500 mg/dL—leading to artery damage and possibly heart attacks at a relatively young age. ❋ Unknown (2010)

All that is required is a female animal bearing one or more chromosome rearrangements in heterozygous form. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Heterozygotes 2pq are immune and suffer no ill effects, but random mating and assortment ensures that the population will never be 100% heterozygous. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The answer, in a word, is that apple trees are heterozygous. ❋ Roger Deakin (2009)

An advantage of this scenario is that the first generation chimera will usually be heterozygous for the targeted mutation and that subsequent breeding can be used to generate the homozygous animal. ❋ Unknown (2007)

We also found that subjects with Jewish ancestry were slightly more heterozygous than the subjects with no Jewish ancestry, suggesting that the genetic distinction between Jews and non-Jews may be more attributable to a Near-Eastern origin for Jewish populations than to population bottlenecks. ❋ Unknown (2009)

A similar doubling may occur if the eater happens to be one of the perhaps 10 million Americans (22) who are, without knowing it, heterozygous for the phenylketonuria (PKU) gene. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Potentially harmful recessive alleles can be hidden from selection in the heterozygous individuals in populations of diploid organisms (recessive alleles are only expressed in the less common homozygous individuals). ❋ Unknown (2008)

Genetic variation within a population is commonly measured as the percentage of gene loci that are polymorphic or the percentage of gene loci in individuals that are heterozygous. ❋ Unknown (2008)
