All terms in NCIT

Label	Id	Description
Survey	NCIT_C17176	[A document used in a method of data collection that involves interviewing (or giving questionnaires to) a representative and often large group of people.]
Low-Dose Spiral CT	NCIT_C20094	[A type of computed tomography whereby a low dose of X-ray modality is used to image certain organs i.e. the lungs.]
Co-Receptor Switching	NCIT_C20095	[During HIV infection, the virus may evolve and become able to use alternative cell surface factors as receptors for cell attachment and entry. This can increase the tissue range of infection or allow the virus to overcome drugs which block virus entry.]
Aptamer Technology	NCIT_C20096	[Technologies that utilize aptamers for biosensors, diagnostic assays, therapeutics, etc.]
Cancer Trials Support Unit	NCIT_C20090	[Streamlines and centralizes administrative, financial, and data collection tasks. The submission and development of ideas for protocols are made easier through electronic forms, templates, and databases.]
Physician Survey on Cancer Susceptibility Testing	NCIT_C20091	[The objectives of this survey are to: 1) determine the utilization of genetic tests by physicians at the national level, 2) ascertain physician knowledge of available genetic tests for specific cancer susceptibility genes, 3) examine physicians' general attitudes toward testing, 4) explore possible variation in utilization and knowledge/attitudes by medical specialty, type of practice, year of training completion, board status, urbanization, and geographic region.]
Questionnaire	NCIT_C17048	[A predetermined set of questions.]
Genome Scan	NCIT_C20092	[To analyse the entire genome (total genetic complement) of an individual, organism, cell or tissue.]
C-Circle	NCIT_C105650	[A stretch of telomeric DNA where the normally guanine-rich (TTAGGG)n overhanging sequence has gaps while the cytosine-rich (AATCCC)n opposite strand remains intact. The resulting partially single-stranded telomere can adopt a circular confirmation.]
Chromosome Structure	NCIT_C13377	[The 3-D organization of histones and other proteins on chromosomal DNA in the nucleus and allow for its form and function during cellular growth and division.]
Left Vastus Lateralis	NCIT_C105640	[The largest muscle in the quadriceps femoris that is responsible for extending and stabilizing the knee located on the left side of the body.]
Vastus Lateralis	NCIT_C53073	[The largest muscle in the quadriceps femoris that is responsible for extending and stabilizing the knee.]
Right Vastus Lateralis	NCIT_C105641	[The largest muscle in the quadriceps femoris that is responsible for extending and stabilizing the knee located on the right side of the body.]
Left Lower Forearm	NCIT_C105642	[The distal half of the left upper limb between the elbow and the wrist.]
Forearm	NCIT_C32628	[The structure on the upper limb, between the elbow and the wrist.]
Right Lower Forearm	NCIT_C105643	[The distal half of the right upper limb between the elbow and the wrist.]
Microtubule-Associated Proteins 1A/1B Light Chain 3-II	NCIT_C105644	[Microtubule-associated proteins 1A/1B light chain 3-II proteins (LC3-II) are products of the autophagy-dependent processing of microtubule-associated proteins 1A/1B light chain 3 family proteins (LC3). During autophagy, LC3 proteins are cleaved by cysteine protease ATG4B to form LC3-I intermediates which are located in the cytoplasm. As autophagy progresses, LC3-I proteins interact with both ubiquitin-like modifier-activating enzyme ATG7 and ubiquitin-like-conjugating enzyme ATG3. These interactions result in further proteolysis and the conjugation of a phospholipid anchor to form the membrane localized LC3-II.]
DNA Replication Timing	NCIT_C105645	[The process that establishes the temporal order of the replication of segments of DNA along a chromosome or in an entire genome.]
MLL/MLLT11 Fusion Gene	NCIT_C105646	[A fusion gene that results from a chromosomal translocation t(1;11)(q21;q23) which fuses the first 6 exons of the MLL gene to the 5' untranslated region of the MLLT11 gene. This rearrangement is associated with acute myelomonocytic leukemia.]
MLL/MLLT11 Fusion Protein	NCIT_C105647	[A fusion protein encoded by the MLL/MLLT11 fusion gene. This protein is comprised of the N-terminal half of the histone-lysine N-methyltransferase MLL protein, including the AT hook DNA binding domain and the DNA methyltransferase domain, fused to the N-terminus of the entire protein AF1q.]
