Clumpy


Definition:

  • (n.) Composed of clumps; massive; shapeless.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Mutations in most CRT genes confer additional phenotypes, among these are clumpiness, hydroxyurea sensitivity, temperature sensitivity and slow growth.
  • (2) The entity is characterized by a maturation arrest at the myelocyte stage, strikingly clumpy chromatin, and a clinical course marked primarily by difficulties caused by anemia and thrombocytopenia.

  • (6) A 34-kd nucleolar protein (fibrillarin) of the U3 RNP complex was positive in immunoblotting of 22 sera (48%), which characteristically produced clumpy nucleolar staining.
  • (7) With the aid of polarization and electron microscopy, the myocardial-cell changes in the affected zones were classed into four morphological types, as follows: contracture type, intracellular myocytolysis, primary clumpy disintegration of myofibrils, and intravital autolysis of ischaemized cells.
  • (8) Disruption of the gene caused phenotypes similar to, but more severe than, those caused by missense mutations: high-level constitutivity for invertase, clumpiness, temperature-sensitive growth, alpha-specific mating defects, and failure to homozygous diploids to sporulate.
  • (9) Electron microscopic description of the characteristic abnormal clumpy chromatin cells is included.
  • (10) Clumpy or ovoid deposits of amyloid were present within the stroma of 41 epitheliomas, whereas no amyloid was found in the tumor cell islands.
