Preferred Label : heavy chain disease;

MeSH definition : A disorder of immunoglobulin synthesis in which large quantities of abnormal heavy chains are excreted in the urine. The amino acid sequences of the N-(amino-) terminal regions of these chains are normal, but they have a deletion extending from part of the variable domain through the first domain of the constant region, so that they cannot form cross-links to the light chains. The defect arises through faulty coupling of the variable (V) and constant (C) region genes.;

MeSH synonym : heavy chain diseases;

MeSH hyponym : mu-Chain disease; mu Chain Disease; mu-Chain Diseases;
