Sis
Definition:
(n.) A colloquial abbreviation of Sister.
(n.) Six. See Sise.
Example Sentences:

(11) c-sis mRNA levels diminished with increased time of infection.
(12) For example, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) has been found in many normal tissues including the CNS, while minor changes in one of its forms (PDGF-B) converts it to the v-sis oncogene, capable of inducing sarcomas and astrocytomas in primates.
