Preferred Label : genes, suppressor;
MeSH definition : Genes that have a suppressor allele or suppressor mutation (SUPPRESSION, GENETIC)
which cancels the effect of a previous mutation, enabling the wild-type phenotype
to be maintained or partially restored. For example, amber suppressors cancel the
effect of an AMBER NONSENSE MUTATION.;
MeSH synonym : second site suppressor genes; suppressor gene; second-site suppressor genes; second-site suppressor gene; suppressor gene, second-site; suppressor genes, second-site; gene, suppressor; suppressor genes; genes, second-site suppressor; gene, second-site suppressor; genes, second site suppressor;
MeSH hyponym : genes, opal suppressor; genes, frameshift suppressor; genes, ochre suppressor; genes, amber suppressor; genes, nonsense mutation suppressor; Gene, Opal Suppressor; Opal Suppressor Gene; Opal Suppressor Genes; Suppressor Gene, Opal; Suppressor Genes, Opal; Nonsense Mutation Suppressor Genes; Gene, Ochre Suppressor; Ochre Suppressor Gene; Suppressor Gene, Ochre; Suppressor Genes, Ochre; Ochre Suppressor Genes; Amber Suppressor Gene; Gene, Amber Suppressor; Suppressor Gene, Amber; Suppressor Genes, Amber; Amber Suppressor Genes; Frameshift Suppressor Gene; Gene, Frameshift Suppressor; Suppressor Gene, Frameshift; Suppressor Genes, Frameshift; Frameshift Suppressor Genes;
MeSH annotation : GENES, TUMOR SUPPRESSOR is also available; do not use for genes involved in suppression
of a physiologic process: index the physiologic process /genet specific gene if
pertinent (genes involved in memory suppression MEMORY /genet specific gene term
if pertinent but not GENES, SUPPRESSOR);
