When a disease occurs in more people in a family than could be expected by chance alone, the disease is familial or inherited in that family.
tending to occur among members of a family usually by heredity; "an inherited disease"; "familial traits"; "genetically transmitted features"
Referring to a family unit, as with diseases that likely to occur in more than one family member by chance.
A disease or disorder affecting more members of the same family, than can be accounted for by chance. Commonly but incorrectly used to mean genetic.
any trait that is more common in relatives of an affected individual than in the general population; could be of environmental and/or genetic cause
Describes a condition that is inherited and therefore affects multiple family members.
Occurring in more than one family member. A familial condition may be due to an inherited (genetic) factor, more than one genetic factor, an environmental factor, or some combination of these.
Occurring in members of the same family; said of certain diseases or disorders.
A phenotype or trait that occurs with greater frequency in a given family than in the general population, and may have a genetic and/or non-genetic etiology.
The term describing a disorder or characteristic (such as male pattern baldness) that occurs within a family more often than would be expected.
A term used to indicate a disease or a trait (an inherited characteristic) which tends to affect more than one member in a family.
Occurring in families. An inherited disorder or trait.
Something which has a tendency to occur within a particular family. For instance, Down syndrome which has occurred more than once within a family because of an inherited chromosome translocation, can be said to be familial in that family.
The term used to describe a disease or disability which affects several members of the same family.
A phenotype that occurs in more than one family member; may have genetic or non-genetic etiology
Tending to occur in more members of a family than expected by chance alone.
(adj.) occuring among members of a family
Occurring among or pertaining to members of the same family.
A condition that is tends to occur more often in family members than expected by chance alone. A familial disease may be genetic (such as cystic fibrosis ) or environmental (such as tuberculosis ). See the entire definition of Familial
Running in a family line; occurring in a family line with greater frequency than by chance alone.
A familial condition is one that runs in the family. This is different to inherited. An inherited condition is one that is definitely passed on by a particular gene. A familial condition shows up more often in a particular family, but not everyone gets it and it is not known to be due to a single inherited gene.
Tending to occur repeatedly in family members, but is not genetic (inherited). Might indicate a susceptibility, or a common environmental influence.
Familial is when a non-inherited disease or condition tends to affect more members of the same family, than other families in the general population.
Condition characteristic of some or all members of a family.
a clustering of disease in a family, with no specific inheritance pattern, but more cases than chance alone would predict.
