What does ATOPY mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
A genetically inherited tendency to develop allergic conditions such as asthma, eczema, and hay fever.
Atopy describes a hereditary predisposition toward allergic reactions, meaning that people with atopy are more likely than average to develop conditions like asthma, atopic dermatitis, or seasonal allergies. Doctors often ask about family history when assessing atopy, since the tendency frequently runs through several generations of the same family. Having atopy does not guarantee that any particular allergic disease will develop, only that the underlying immune sensitivity is present. The term is central to allergy and immunology, distinguishing an inherited allergic tendency from a one-time or acquired allergic reaction.
