👉 Ovicapsular is a term used in the field of medical genetics to describe a type of genetic abnormality that involves the absence or reduction of an essential protein. This condition can be caused by mutations, deletions, or other genetic abnormalities, which may lead to a reduced ability to synthesize proteins or alter their function. Ovicapsular is often associated with conditions such as sickle cell disease, cystic fibrosis, and some inherited metabolic disorders.
