All terms in NCIT

Label	Id	Description
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia	NCIT_C3167	[Leukemia with an acute onset, characterized by the presence of lymphoblasts in the bone marrow and the peripheral blood. It includes the acute B lymphoblastic leukemia and acute T lymphoblastic leukemia.]
Nijmegen Breakage Syndrome	NCIT_C4692	[A disorder, wherein unstable chromosomes have a tendency to break and become rearranged, characterized by microcephaly, stunted growth, subnormal mental development, cafe-au-lait spots, and immunodeficiency. The syndrome is named after the University of Nijmegen in the Netherlands. (JABL99)]
Double Strand Break Repair	NCIT_C19608	[Mechanisms of DNA repair associated with radiation damage.]
Telomere Maintenance	NCIT_C20152	[Telomere maintenance mechanisms contribute to the maintenance of proper telomeric length and structure by affecting and monitoring the activity of telomeric proteins and the length of telomeric DNA.]
DNA Recombination Process	NCIT_C17082	[Any type of DNA sequence rearrangement involving possible exchange and frequent loss of segments of DNA by either homologous recombination or non-homologous end-joining of broken DNA strands. Recombination is involved in assorting genes during reproduction, in repairing broken DNA, and in maintaining cell viability at the expense of long-term genomic stability.]
V(D)J Recombination	NCIT_C20971	[Any process of gene rearrangement in which the original variable and joining region coding segments of the immunoglobulin and T cell receptor genes are ligated to create a novel protein-coding capacity. This process may occur with inclusion of the diversity coding segment to create a V(D)J coding gene. V(D)J recombination is involved in generation of diversity for both antibody and T cell receptor responses.]
Cell Cycle Checkpoint	NCIT_C18689	[Phases or points in the cell cycle at which a cell is prevented from progressing into the next phase of the cycle unless certain necessary and sufficient cellular conditions exist. The checkpoints help maintain the proper order and timing of cell transition events, especially important for DNA replication and chromosome segregation.]
Part per Thousand	NCIT_C69112	[A unit of proportion equal to 10E-3.]
Part Dosing Unit	NCIT_C48522	[A fraction of a dosing unit.]
Number Fraction Unit	NCIT_C69176	[A unit for measurement of a quotient of the number of particular entities (constituents) and the number of all constituents in the system.]
Nibrin	NCIT_C21171	[Nibrin (754 aa, ~85 kDa) is encoded by the human NBN gene. This protein is involved in cell cycle checkpoint control, DNA damage responses and meiotic recombination.]
DNA Repair Protein	NCIT_C21170	[Any of the proteins involved in the enzymatic restoration of DNA structure after chemical, radiation, or spontaneous damage.]
Half Pint	NCIT_C69113	[A non-SI unit of volume equal to 8 fluid ounces or 0.2365 liter.]
Aging-Related Process	NCIT_C21172	[Any physiological aspect of aging; irreversible changes in an organism that occur over time and lead to a more mature condition.]
Pint British	NCIT_C69114	[A traditional unit of volume equal to 20 British fluid ounces, 34.678 cubic inches or approximately 568.261 milliliters.]
Reproductive Process	NCIT_C21173	[A Reproductive System Process involves a function of cellular, cell, or tissue components of the organ system involved in generation of offspring that includes the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, and vagina in women or the prostate, testes, and penis in men.]
Dry Peck British	NCIT_C69115	[A traditional (non-SI) unit of volume equal to two British gallons, or approximately 9.09218 liters.]
CAV1 Gene	NCIT_C21174	[This gene plays a role in signal transduction, apoptosis and regulation of cell growth.]
Structural Protein Gene	NCIT_C20744	[A gene that encodes a protein with a chief function as part of a physical structure within a cell. This is in contrast to genes that encode proteins with a function that is enzymatic or regulatory.]
Receptor Mediated Endocytosis	NCIT_C18107	[A process by which cells internalize molecules or viruses. Receptors on the plasma membrane of the target cell bind to specific cell surface receptorson the endocytic cells, inducing formation of coated pits and endocytic invagination of the plasma membrane.]
