Label	Id	Description
Cholesterol Ester Storage Disease	D015217	[An autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the gene for acid lipase (STEROL ESTERASE). It is characterized by the accumulation of neutral lipids, particularly CHOLESTEROL ESTERS in leukocytes, fibroblasts, and hepatocytes.]
Hyperostosis, Sternocostoclavicular	D015218	[A rare, benign rheumatologic disorder or syndrome characterized by hyperostosis and soft tissue ossification between the clavicles and the anterior part of the upper ribs. It is often associated with the dermatologic disorder palmoplantar pustulosis, particularly in Japan. Careful diagnosis is required to distinguish it from psoriatic arthritis, OSTEITIS DEFORMANS, and other diseases. Spondylitis of pustulosis palmaris et plantaris is one of the possible causes; also, evidence suggests one origin may be bone infection. Bone imaging is especially useful for diagnosis. It was originally described by Sonozaki in 1974.]
Waterborne Diseases	D000069578	[Illnesses due to micro-organisms and chemicals in drinking water, those caused by organisms having part of their lifecycle in water or those with water-related vectors, and others spread by aerosols containing pathogens.]
Communicable Diseases	D003141	[An illness caused by an infectious agent or its toxins that occurs through the direct or indirect transmission of the infectious agent or its products from an infected individual or via an animal, vector or the inanimate environment to a susceptible animal or human host.]
Skin and Connective Tissue Diseases	D017437	[A collective term for diseases of the skin and its appendages and of connective tissue.]
Uniparental Disomy	D024182	[The presence in a cell of two paired chromosomes from the same parent, with no chromosome of that pair from the other parent. This chromosome composition stems from non-disjunction (NONDISJUNCTION, GENETIC) events during MEIOSIS. The disomy may be composed of both homologous chromosomes from one parent (heterodisomy) or a duplicate of one chromosome (isodisomy)., The presence in a cell of a chromosome pair that is composed of both homologous chromosomes from one parent., The presence in a cell of a chromosome pair that is composed of duplicates of one parental chromosome.]
Consciousness Disorders	D003244	[Organic mental disorders in which there is impairment of the ability to maintain awareness of self and environment and to respond to environmental stimuli. Dysfunction of the cerebral hemispheres or brain stem RETICULAR FORMATION may result in this condition.]
Constipation	D003248	[Infrequent or difficult evacuation of FECES. These symptoms are associated with a variety of causes, including low DIETARY FIBER intake, emotional or nervous disturbances, systemic and structural disorders, drug-induced aggravation, and infections., Symptom characterized by the passage of stool once a week or less., Difficult defecation.]
Splenosis	D017890	[The spontaneous transplantation of splenic tissue to unusual sites after open splenic trauma, e.g., after automobile accidents, gunshot or stab wounds. The splenic pulp implants appear as red-blue nodules on the peritoneum, omentum, and mesentery, morphologically similar to multifocal pelvic endometriosis. (Segen, Dictionary of Modern Medicine, 1992)]
Splenic Rupture	D013161	[Rupture of the SPLEEN due to trauma or disease.]
Purpura, Thrombocytopenic, Idiopathic	D016553	[Thrombocytopenia occurring in the absence of toxic exposure or a disease associated with decreased platelets. It is mediated by immune mechanisms, in most cases IMMUNOGLOBULIN G autoantibodies which attach to platelets and subsequently undergo destruction by macrophages. The disease is seen in acute (affecting children) and chronic (adult) forms.]
Purpura, Thrombocytopenic	D011696	[Any form of purpura in which the PLATELET COUNT is decreased. Many forms are thought to be caused by immunological mechanisms.]
Wolman Disease	D015223	[The severe infantile form of inherited lysosomal lipid storage diseases due to deficiency of acid lipase (STEROL ESTERASE). It is characterized by the accumulation of neutral lipids, particularly CHOLESTEROL ESTERS in leukocytes, fibroblasts, and hepatocytes. It is also known as Wolman's xanthomatosis and is an allelic variant of CHOLESTEROL ESTER STORAGE DISEASE.]
Ossification of Posterior Longitudinal Ligament	D017887	[A calcification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the spinal column, usually at the level of the cervical spine. It is often associated with anterior ankylosing hyperostosis.]
Ossification, Heterotopic	D009999	[The development of bony substance in normally soft structures.]
Spinal Diseases	D013122	[Diseases involving the SPINE.]
Exfoliation Syndrome	D017889	[The deposition of flaky, translucent fibrillar material most conspicuous on the anterior lens capsule and pupillary margin but also in both surfaces of the iris, the zonules, trabecular meshwork, ciliary body, corneal endothelium, and orbital blood vessels. It sometimes forms a membrane on the anterior iris surface. Exfoliation refers to the shedding of pigment by the iris. (Newell, Ophthalmology, 7th ed, p380)]
Hyperlipidemias	D006949	[Abnormally high level of lipids in blood., Conditions with excess LIPIDS in the blood.]
Sexually Transmitted Diseases	D012749	[Diseases due to or propagated by sexual contact.]
Constriction, Pathologic	D003251	[The condition of an anatomical structure's being constricted beyond normal dimensions.]
