Denoting a temporal pattern of disease occurrence in an animal or human population in which the disease occurs only rarely and without regularity. 2. In the genetic context, sporadic denotes a singleton or sport. Several quite different and disparate phenomena are covered by this term, including a new mutation; occult nonpaternity; the chance outcome for a recessive trait in two carrier parents with a small family; extreme variability in the expression of a gene; an environmental phenocopy; a multilocal genocopy, etc. No useful properties can be predicated of all members of this class; and the term is notionally useless. 3.
