pulmonary embolism

An artery disease characterized by a blockage of the main artery of the lung or one of its branches by a substance that has travelled from elsewhere in the body, e.g. a blood clot.

hereditary spastic paraplegia 85

A hereditary spastic paraplegia characterized by onset of motor symptoms (e.g. spasticity and hyperreflexia of the lower limbs) in the first few years of life that has_material_basis_in homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the RNF170 gene on chromosome 8p11.21.

ectodermal dysplasia and immunodeficiency 2

An ectodermal dysplasia and immunodeficiency that is characterized by variable features of ectodermal dysplasia (e.g., hypo/anhidrosis, sparse hair, tooth anomalies) and various immunologic and infectious phenotypes of differing severity and that has_material_basis_in heterozygous mutation in the NFKBIA gene on chromosome 14q13.

Larsen-like syndrome B3GAT3 type

A syndrome that is characterized by laxity, dislocations and contractures of the joints, short stature, foot deformities (e.g. clubfeet), broad tips of fingers and toes, short neck, dysmorphic facial features (hypertelorism, downslanting palpebral fissures, upturned nose with anteverted nares, high arched palate) and various cardiac malformations and has_material_basis_in homozygous mutation in the B3GAT3 gene on chromosome 11q12.

sickle cell disease

A blood protein disease that is characterized by chronic hemolytic anemia and intermittent vaso-occlusive events that result in tissue ischemia leading to acute and chronic pain as well as organ damage that can affect any organ system, resulting from the replacement of one of the beta-globin subunits in hemoglobin with atypical hemoglobin molecules called hemoglobin S which can distort red blood cells into a sickle or crescent shape. Sickle cell disease subtypes should include a detailed genotypic description for the hemoglobin molecules (e.g., Hb S/S, Hb S/C, Hb S/0-thalassemia).

osmotic diarrhea

A dirrhea that occurs when too much water is drawn into the bowels. This can be the result of maldigestion (e.g., pancreatic disease or Coeliac disease), in which the nutrients are left in the lumen to pull in water. Osmotic diarrhea can also be caused by osmotic laxatives (which work to alleviate constipation by drawing water into the bowels). In healthy individuals, too much magnesium or vitamin C or undigested lactose can produce osmotic diarrhea and distention of the bowel. A person who does not have lactose intolerance can have difficulty absorbing lactose after an extraordinarily high intake of dairy products.
