(programming, computing theory) Synonym of subtyping

(computer science) Synonym of subtype polymorphism

(programming) A way to make a computer language more expressive, while maintaining full static type safety, by allowing a function or a data type to be written generically so that it can handle values identically without depending on their type.

(genetics) The normal variation in the number of copies (normally two) of a gene, or of sequences of DNA, in the genome of a specific individual

(computer science) A kind of polymorphism where polymorphic functions can be applied to arguments of different types, as they can denote a number of distinct and potentially heterogeneous implementations depending on the types of argument to which they are applied.

an autosomal dominant inherited heart disorder caused by a mutation in voltage gated ion channels and resulting in arrhythmias. CPVT may cause exercise-induced ventricular arrhythmias and/or syncope occurring during physical activity or acute emotion, but demonstrates no structural problems of the heart. Ventricular tachycardia may self-terminate or degenerate into ventricular fibrillation, causing sudden death without immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The majority of events occur during childhood and more than 60% of affected individuals will have a first episode of syncope or cardiac arrest by age 20.
