(a.) Deviating from the ordinary or natural type; exceptional; abnormal.
Example Sentences:

(2) The effects of phenoxyacetic acid herbicides were investigated on the induction of chromosome aberrations in human peripheral lymphocyte cultures in vitro and in lymphocytes of exposed workers in vivo.
(3) Recent studies have shown that an aberration in platelet-derived growth factor gene expression is unlikely to be a factor in proliferation of smooth-muscle cells.
(4) Maximal aberration yields were observed for 2,4-diaminotoluene, 2,6-diaminotoluene and cytosine beta-D-arabinofuranoside from 17 to 21 h, eugenol from 15 to 21 h, cadmium sulfate from 15 to 24 h and 2-aminobiphenyl, from 17 to 24 h. For adriamycin at 1 microM, the % aberrant cells remained elevated throughout the period from 9 to 29 h, while small increases at 0.1 microM ADR were found only at 13 and at 25 h. For most chemicals the maximal aberration yield occurred at a different time for each concentration tested.
(5) Aberrant forms (elongated and twisted) in the vacuole and double virions in the plasma membrane were observed as early as 65 h after infection.
(6) Detailed studies of the between-cell aberration distributions give evidence that positive selection against cells with high aberration frequencies has also occurred in these experiments.
(7) Chromosome aberrations were scored in BHK21 C13 Syrian hamster fibroblasts, exposed to 60Co gamma-rays, 250 kV X-rays, 15 MeV neutrons or neutrons of mean energy 2.1 MeV produced from the 9Be(d,n)10B reaction.
(8) Immense amounts of data about cancer-associated chromosome aberrations have been collected during the last 10 years, and the systematic evaluation of these data has disclosed a number of correlations between chromosome change and neoplastic disease.
(9) ECGs taken routinely over a period of years help differntiate ventricular from supraventricular tachycardias with aberrant conduction.
(10) In three patients treated with photrine cells with aberrative karyotypes ranged within 14-37.5%.
(11) 50 cells at metaphase per animal were scored for chromosomal aberrations.
(12) Thus, in human lymphocytes the frequencies of chromatid aberrations induced by most clastogenic agents were strongly enhanced when caffeine was given during the G2 phase, but little affected by post-treatments with caffeine during the S phase.
(13) Systematic treatment of aberrant subclavian arteries should perhaps be considered when it can be performed during thoracic surgery.
(14) At that time the factor IX users also had milder immune aberrations than the hemophilia A group.
(15) The predominant specific aberrations in gliomas were an over-representation of chromosome 7 (13 cases) and an under-representation of chromosome 10 (16 cases).
(16) It was shown that six pesticides induced a statistically significant increase in the number of chromosomal aberrations: Bi 58 EC, Metasystox (I) forte, Sadofos 30, Nogos 50 EC, Foschlor 25 and Thiodan 35.
(17) Cystic dystrophy of aberrant pancreatic tissue without chronic pancreatitis is a rare disease described by Potet and Duclert in 1970.
(18) Methyl sinapate also increased the frequency of cells with chromosome aberrations in the CHO K-1 cells treated with MMC, 4NQO or UV.
(19) In the exposed group structural chromosome aberrations were found in 2%, while in the control group in 0.9% of analysed metaphases.
(20) These findings indicate structural abnormalities in the secretory apparatus of neuroendocrine cells in dysplastic bronchi and correlate with experimental observations of aberrant hormonal production associated with bronchial dysplasia.
Aberration
Definition:
(n.) The act of wandering; deviation, especially from truth or moral rectitude, from the natural state, or from a type.
(n.) A partial alienation of reason.
(n.) A small periodical change of position in the stars and other heavenly bodies, due to the combined effect of the motion of light and the motion of the observer; called annual aberration, when the observer's motion is that of the earth in its orbit, and daily or diurnal aberration, when of the earth on its axis; amounting when greatest, in the former case, to 20.4'', and in the latter, to 0.3''. Planetary aberration is that due to the motion of light and the motion of the planet relative to the earth.
(n.) The convergence to different foci, by a lens or mirror, of rays of light emanating from one and the same point, or the deviation of such rays from a single focus; called spherical aberration, when due to the spherical form of the lens or mirror, such form giving different foci for central and marginal rays; and chromatic aberration, when due to different refrangibilities of the colored rays of the spectrum, those of each color having a distinct focus.
(n.) The passage of blood or other fluid into parts not appropriate for it.
(n.) The producing of an unintended effect by the glancing of an instrument, as when a shot intended for A glances and strikes B.
