KISS1 Gene	NCIT_C20765	[This gene plays a role in the negative regulation of cell proliferation and migration.]
Non-Neoplastic Uveal Disorder	NCIT_C35776
Non-Neoplastic Eye Disorder	NCIT_C27604	[A non-neoplastic disorder that affects the eye.]
Pediculosis Pubis	NCIT_C35777	[Infestation of the pubic hair by the pthirus pubis parasite which results in mild to intense itching and macular lesions.

Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor of the Gastrointestinal Tract	NCIT_C35778	[A stromal tumor that originates from the interstitial cells of Cajal. It may involve any part of the gastrointestinal tract. The majority of cases occur in the stomach. Morphologic variants include the epithelioid cell type, spindle cell type, and mixed cell type. Most cases contain KIT- or PDGFRA-activating mutations. Lesions with a diameter greater than 10cm and more than 5 mitotic figures per 50HPF tend to have a more aggressive clinical course. Until recently, surgery has been the only effective therapy for this tumor. However, many patients still experience recurrence. A KIT tyrosine kinase inhibitor, imatinib mesylate (also known as STI-571 or Gleevec), is now effective in the treatment of relapsed and unresectable cases.]
Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor	NCIT_C3868	[A stromal tumor most commonly seen in the gastrointestinal tract. Rare cases of solitary masses in the omentum or the mesentery have also been reported (extragastrointestinal gastrointestinal stromal tumor). It is a tumor that differentiates along the lines of interstitial cells of Cajal. Most cases contain KIT- or PDGFRA-activating mutations. Until recently, surgery has been the only effective therapy for this tumor. However, many patients still experience recurrence. Conventional chemotherapy and radiation therapy have been of limited value. A KIT tyrosine kinase inhibitor, imatinib mesylate (also known as STI-571 or Gleevec), is now effective in the treatment of relapsed and unresectable cases.]

The lack of hair is rarely absolute and is usually accompanied by incompletely grown, lanugo-like hair. It affects males twice as much as females and a familial tendency is common.]
