Label	Id	Description
Equipment Design	D004867	[Methods and patterns of fabricating machines and related hardware.]
Consensus Sequence	D016384	[A theoretical representative nucleotide or amino acid sequence in which each nucleotide or amino acid is the one which occurs most frequently at that site in the different sequences which occur in nature. The phrase also refers to an actual sequence which approximates the theoretical consensus. A known CONSERVED SEQUENCE set is represented by a consensus sequence. Commonly observed supersecondary protein structures (AMINO ACID MOTIFS) are often formed by conserved sequences.]
Conserved Sequence	D017124	[A sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide or of nucleotides in DNA or RNA that is similar across multiple species. A known set of conserved sequences is represented by a CONSENSUS SEQUENCE. AMINO ACID MOTIFS are often composed of conserved sequences.]
Oncogene Proteins v-abl	D016374	[Transforming proteins encoded by the abl oncogenes. Oncogenic transformation of c-abl to v-abl occurs by insertional activation that results in deletions of specific N-terminal amino acids.]
Nucleic Acid Probes	D015341	[Nucleic acid which complements a specific mRNA or DNA molecule, or fragment thereof; used for hybridization studies in order to identify microorganisms and for genetic studies.]
Oligonucleotides, Antisense	D016376	[Short fragments of DNA or RNA that are used to alter the function of target RNAs or DNAs to which they hybridize.]
Oligonucleotides	D009841	[Polymers made up of a few (2-20) nucleotides. In molecular genetics, they refer to a short sequence synthesized to match a region where a mutation is known to occur, and then used as a probe (OLIGONUCLEOTIDE PROBES). (Dorland, 28th ed)]
Cell- and Tissue-Based Therapy	D064987	[Therapies that involve the TRANSPLANTATION of CELLS or TISSUES developed for the purpose of restoring the function of diseased or dysfunctional cells or tissues.]
Denture, Partial, Fixed, Resin-Bonded	D016379	[A commonly used prosthesis that results in a strong, permanent restoration. It consists of an electrolytically etched cast-metal retainer that is cemented (bonded), using resins, to adjacent teeth whose enamel was previously acid-treated (acid-etched). This type of bridgework is sometimes referred to as a Maryland bridge.]
Denture, Partial, Fixed	D003830	[A partial denture attached to prepared natural teeth, roots, or implants by cementation.]
Loeys-Dietz Syndrome	D055947	[Loeys-Dietz Syndrome with aortic aneurysm or dissection., An autosomal dominant aneurysm with multisystem abnormalities caused by increased TGF-BETA signaling due to mutations in type I or II of TGF-BETA RECEPTOR. Additional craniofacial features include CLEFT PALATE; CRANIOSYNOSTOSIS; HYPERTELORISM; or bifid uvula. Phenotypes closely resemble MARFAN SYNDROME; Marfanoid craniosynostosis syndrome (Shprintzen-Goldberg syndrome); and EHLERS-DANLOS SYNDROME.]
Craniofacial Abnormalities	D019465	[Congenital structural deformities, malformations, or other abnormalities of the cranium and facial bones.]
Aortic Aneurysm	D001014	[An abnormal balloon- or sac-like dilatation in the wall of AORTA.]
Aneurysm, Dissecting	D000784	[An aneurysm caused by a tear in the TUNICA INTIMA of a blood vessel leading to interstitial HEMORRHAGE, and splitting (dissecting) of the vessel wall, often involving the AORTA. Dissection between the tunica intima and TUNICA MEDIA causes luminal occlusion. Dissection at the media, or between the media and the outer ADVENTITIA causes aneurismal dilation.]
Sarcopenia	D055948	[Progressive decline in muscle mass due to aging which results in decreased functional capacity of muscles.]
Muscular Atrophy	D009133	[Derangement in size and number of muscle fibers occurring with aging, reduction in blood supply, or following immobilization, prolonged weightlessness, malnutrition, and particularly in denervation.]
Vasa Previa	D055949	[Pregnancy complication where fetal blood vessels, normally inside the umbilical cord, are left unprotected and cross FETAL MEMBRANES. It is associated with antepartum bleeding and FETAL DEATH and STILLBIRTH due to exsanguination.]
Functional Food	D055951	[Components of the usual diet that may provide health benefits beyond basic nutrients. Examples of functional foods include soy, nuts, chocolate, and cranberries (From NCCAM Backgrounder, March 2004, p3).]
Cogan Syndrome	D055952	[A condition consisting of inflammatory eye disease usually presenting as interstitial KERATITIS, vestibuloauditory dysfunction, and large- to medium-vessel vasculitis.]
Eye Diseases	D005128	[Diseases affecting the eye.]
