Label	Id	Description
Non-Neoplastic Pituitary Gland Disorder	NCIT_C27567	[A non-neoplastic disorder that affects the pituitary gland. Representative examples include pituitary gland hypoplasia and apoplexy.]
Threonine	NCIT_C29602	[An essential amino acid in humans (provided by food), Threonine is an important residue of many proteins, such as tooth enamel, collagen, and elastin. An important amino acid for the nervous system, threonine also plays an important role in porphyrin and fat metabolism and prevents fat buildup in the liver. Useful with intestinal disorders and indigestion, threonine has also been used to alleviate anxiety and mild depression. (NCI04)]
USP22 Gene	NCIT_C132056	[This gene plays a role in the deubiquitination of histone H2 proteins.]
Tryptophan	NCIT_C29603	[The least plentiful of all 22 amino acids and an essential amino acid in humans (provided by food), Tryptophan is found in most proteins and a precursor of serotonin. Tryptophan is converted to 5-hydroxy-tryptophan (5-HTP), converted in turn to serotonin, a neurotransmitter essential in regulating appetite, sleep, mood, and pain. Tryptophan is a natural sedative and present in dairy products, meats, brown rice, fish, and soybeans. (NCI04)]
USP22 wt Allele	NCIT_C132057	[Human USP22 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 17p11.2 and is approximately 44 kb in length. This allele, which encodes ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 22 protein, is involved in the removal of ubiquitin from histone H2 proteins.]
17p11.2	NCIT_C24969	[A chromosome band present on 17p]
Valine	NCIT_C29604	[An aliphatic and extremely hydrophobic essential amino acid in humans related to leucine, Valine is found in many proteins, mostly in the interior of globular proteins helping to determine three-dimensional structure. A glycogenic amino acid, valine maintains mental vigor, muscle coordination, and emotional calm. Valine is obtained from soy, cheese, fish, meats and vegetables. Valine supplements are used for muscle growth, tissue repair, and energy. (NCI04)]
Ubiquitin Carboxyl-Terminal Hydrolase 22	NCIT_C132058	[Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 22 (525 aa, ~60 kDa) is encoded by the human USP22 gene. This protein plays a role in the deubiquitination of histones H2A and H2B.]
ADCS-ADL MCI - Use Household Appliance: Dryer	NCIT_C107090	[Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study-Activities of Daily Living Inventory, MCI (ADCS-ADL MCI) If yes, check household appliances that apply: dryer.]
ADCS-ADL MCI - Use Household Appliance: Vacuum	NCIT_C107091	[Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study-Activities of Daily Living Inventory, MCI (ADCS-ADL MCI) If yes, check household appliances that apply: vacuum.]
ADCS-ADL MCI - Points for Questions (1-18) Answered 'Don't Know'	NCIT_C107092	[Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study-Activities of Daily Living Inventory, MCI (ADCS-ADL MCI) Were any questions (1-18) answered 'Don't Know'? If yes, calculate total points for 'Don't Know'.]
HAQ-DI With VAS - Aids or Devices For Hygiene/Reach/Grip/Act-Other	NCIT_C107093	[Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index With Pain Visual Analog Scale (HAQ-DI With VAS) AIDS or DEVICES that you usually use for any of these activities - Other (for hygiene, reach, grip and activities).]
Mitiglinide Calcium	NCIT_C132050
Meglitinide Antidiabetic Agent	NCIT_C98079	[Nonsulfonylurea insulin secretagogues and analogues of meglitinide with antihyperglycemic activity. Meglitinide antidiabetic agents bind to the ATP-sensitive inwardly-rectifier potassium (IKATP) channels on the membranes of pancreatic beta cells in a manner similar to sulfonylureas but at a discrete contact point on the SUR1 subunit. The binding blocks the influx of positively charged potassium ions into the cells, thereby reducing potassium conductance and causing membrane depolarization. In turn, this stimulates calcium ion influx through voltage-gated calcium channels, raising intracellular calcium ion levels and leading to the release of insulin-containing granules The IKATP channels found in pancreatic islets are complexes of four IKATP 6.2 and four SUR1 subunits. Compared to sulfonylureas, meglitinides, in general, have a more rapid onset of action and a shorter half-life.]
HAQ-DI With VAS - Aids or Devices For Hygiene/Reach/Grip/Act-Specify	NCIT_C107094	[Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index With Pain Visual Analog Scale (HAQ-DI With VAS) AIDS or DEVICES that you usually use for any of these activities - Specify (for hygiene, reach, grip and activities).]
Allogeneic Conditioning	NCIT_C107095	[A preparative treatment regimen given prior to a cell transplantation from a genetically non-identical donor. The regimen consists of chemotherapy with or without radiation and is intended to kill cancerous cells before the transplantation and to provide immunosuppression to prevent the rejection of the donor's stem cells.]
Transplant Conditioning	NCIT_C64468	[Administration of high doses of chemotherapy or radiation therapy, as well as immunosuppressive therapy, to a transplant recipient prior to a bone marrow or hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Conditioning destroys the patient's abnormal blood cells or cancer, as well as slows the patient's immune response against the donor bone marrow (graft rejection).]
Central Ameloblastic Carcinoma	NCIT_C7494
Autologous Conditioning	NCIT_C107096	[A preparative treatment regimen given prior to autologous cell transplantation. The regimen consists of chemotherapy with or without radiation and is intended to kill cancerous cells before the transplantation.]
