Label	Id	Description
central neurocytoma	EFO_1000856	[A benign brain tumor composed of neural elements which most often arise from the SEPTUM PELLUCIDUM and the walls of the lateral ventricles. Immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy evaluations may reveal expression of neuron specific enolase and synaptophysin and cells containing microtubuli, neurosecretory granules, and presynaptic vesicles. (From Acta Med Port 1994 Feb;7(2):113-9)]
cerebral ventricle cancer	EFO_0007201	[A cerebrum cancer that is located_in the cerebral ventricles., A neoplasm that involves a brain ventricle. It may be a primary neoplasm arising from a brain ventricle, a metastasis from a distant anatomic site, or an extension of an invasive neoplasm from an adjacent brain structure.]
central pontine myelinolysis	EFO_1000857	[A central nervous system disorder caused by demyelination within the central basis pontis of the brain. It is characterized by spastic quadriplegia, pseudobulbar palsy and encephalopathy. It is observed in patients with severe hyponatremia, particularly when the hyponatremia is corrected too rapidly., A demyelinating condition affecting the PONS and characterized clinically by an acute progressive QUADRIPLEGIA; DYSARTHRIA; DYSPHAGIA; and alterations of consciousness. Pathologic features include prominent demyelination in the central PONS with sparing of axons and neurons. This condition is usually associated with systemic disorders such as HYPONATREMIA; chronic ALCOHOLISM; LIVER FAILURE; severe BURNS; malignant NEOPLASMS; hemorrhagic PANCREATITIS; HEMODIALYSIS; and SEPSIS. The rapid medical correction of hyponatremia has been cited as a cause of this condition. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp1125-6)]
demyelinating disease	MONDO_0002562	[A broad group of disorders that affect the myelin sheaths that cover the neurons. Myelin sheathes cover neuronal axons in the central and peripheral nervous system and function to increase travelling impulse speeds. Disruption of this sheath impairs neuronal transmission and can result in disorders such as multiple sclerosis and Guillain-Barre syndrome, among others.]
causalgia	EFO_1000854	[A complex regional pain syndrome characterized by burning pain and marked sensitivity to touch (HYPERESTHESIA) in the distribution of an injured peripheral nerve. Autonomic dysfunction in the form of sudomotor (i.e., sympathetic innervation to sweat glands), vasomotor, and trophic skin changes may also occur. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1359), Complex regional pain syndrome type 2 (CRPS2), or causalgia is a form of complex regional pain syndrome that develops after damage to a peripheral nerve and is characterized by spontaneous pain, allodynia and hyperalgesia, not necessarily limited to the territory of the injured nerve, as well as at some point, edema, changes in skin blood flow or sudomotor dysfunction in the pain area.]
complex regional pain syndrome	EFO_1001998	[Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a rare neurologic disease painful progressive condition that corresponds to a group of disorders characterized by a disproportionate spontaneous or stimulus-induced pain, accompanied by a variably mixed myriad of autonomic and motor disorders including symptoms such as swelling, allodynia, skin blood supply and trophic disturbances. CRPS most often affects one of the arms, legs, hands, or feet and usually occurs after an injury or trauma to that limb.]
central core myopathy	EFO_1000855	[An inherited congenital myopathic condition characterized by weakness and hypotonia in infancy and delayed motor development. Muscle biopsy reveals a condensation of myofibrils and myofibrillar material in the central portion of each muscle fiber. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1452), An autosomal dominant congenital disorder affecting the skeletal muscles. Microscopically, it is characterized by disorganized areas, which are called cores, seen usually in the center of the muscle fibers. Clinically it presents as mild to severe muscle weakness. It may be associated with skeletal abnormalities including scoliosis, joint deformities, and hip dislocation.]
Genetic skeletal muscle disease	Orphanet_206634
congenital myopathy with cores	MONDO_0015765
RYR1-related myopathy	MONDO_0100150
myofibrillar myopathy	MONDO_0018943	[Myofibrillar myopathy (MFM) describes a group of skeletal and cardiac muscle disorders, defined by the disintegration of myofibrils and aggregation of degradation products into intracellular inclusions, and is typically clinically characterized by slowly-progressive muscle weakness, which initially involves the distal muscles, but is highly variable and that can affect the proximal muscles as well as the cardiac and respiratory muscles in some patients.]
TPM2-related myopathy	MONDO_0100196	[A congenital myopathy of the musculoskeletal system that covers a wide spectrum of phenotypes and is caused by pathogenic variants in the skeletal muscle beta-Tropomyosin gene. These variants lead to a variety of overlapping adult onset and congenital myopathies characterized by muscle weakness, amyotrophy, hypotonia, myopathic facies, scoliosis, and sometimes contractures among other phenotypes. Histologic findings on skeletal muscle biopsy are variable with nemaline and intranuclear bodies, cap-like lesions, core-like lesions, fiber-type disproportion, and dystrophic features all observed to some degree.]
Nephrogenic rest	HP_0100880	[Abnormally persistent clusters of embryonal cells, representing microscopic malformations (dysplasias) of the developing kidney.]
Abnormal renal morphology	HP_0012210	[Any structural anomaly of the kidney.]
Crassostrea ariakensis	NCBITaxon_94323
17q12 microdeletion syndrome	Orphanet_261265
Partial autosomal monosomy	Orphanet_98142
visual cortex	UBERON_0000411	[The part of the occipital lobe responsible for processing visual information.]
anatomical structure	UBERON_0000061	[Material anatomical entity that is a single connected structure with inherent 3D shape generated by coordinated expression of the organism's own genome.]
brain	UBERON_0000955	[The brain is the center of the nervous system in all vertebrate, and most invertebrate, animals. Some primitive animals such as jellyfish and starfish have a decentralized nervous system without a brain, while sponges lack any nervous system at all. In vertebrates, the brain is located in the head, protected by the skull and close to the primary sensory apparatus of vision, hearing, balance, taste, and smell[WP].]
