genotype (jēn`ətīp'): see genetics genome, or characteristic set of genes, that contains the total genetic information for an individual organism. In many familiar organisms two genes for each trait are present in each individual, and these paired genes, both governing the same trait, are called alleles. .....

Among organisms that reproduce sexually, an individual's genotype comprises the entire complex of genes inherited from both parents. Sexual reproduction guarantees that each individual has a unique genotype, except for identical twins, who come from the same fertilized egg.

We found a significant increase in mean titer of homologous DENV-1 neutralizing antibodies and a significant decrease in heterologous antibodies to 1 of 2 genotypes of DENV-2 virus (the American genotype). The primary goals of our analysis were to examine associations of ALAD, VDR, and eNOS genotype with uric acid in lead workers while controlling for other covariates and to evaluate whether ALAD, VDR, and eNOS genotypes modified associations between the lead dose biomarkers (tibia lead, blood lead, DMSA-chelatable lead) and uric acid while controlling for other covariates. The prototype securely stores information on patient genotypes and compares them with drug evidence to indicate an optimal choice and dosage of drugs according to a genotype of each patient. |
