|
Vulvodynia
|
D056650 |
[Complex pain syndrome with unknown etiology, characterized by constant or intermittent generalized vulva pain (Generalized vulvodynia) or localized burning sensations in the VESTIBULE area when pressure is applied (Vestibulodynia, or Vulvar Vestibulitis Syndrome). Typically, vulvar tissue with vulvodynia appears normal without infection or skin disease. Vulvodynia impacts negatively on a woman's quality of life as it interferes with sexual and daily activities.

|
Vulvovaginitis
|
D014848 |
[Inflammation of the VULVA and the VAGINA, characterized by discharge, burning, and PRURITUS.

|
WAGR Syndrome
|
D017624 |
[A contiguous gene syndrome associated with hemizygous deletions of chromosome region 11p13. The condition is marked by the combination of WILMS TUMOR; ANIRIDIA; GENITOURINARY ABNORMALITIES; and INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY.

WAP Four-Disulfide Core Domain Protein 2
|
D000081102 |
[A secreted 25-kDa glycoprotein member of the Whey-acidic-protein (WAP) four-disulfide core (WFDC) domain family with tissue specific expression in the EPIDIDYMIS. It is also expressed in a limited number of other organs which include female reproductive tract, breast tissue, kidney, regions of the respiratory tract and nasopharynx. The protein is a biomarker for epithelial ovarian cancer.

|
WD40 Repeats
|
D000071678 |
[Protein interaction motifs of approximately 40 amino acids that usually terminate in TRYPTOPHAN and ASPARTIC ACID. They form characteristic beta-propeller structures and occur in many eukaryotic proteins that function in a variety of cellular processes. Proteins that contain WD40 repeats often function as assembly platforms for MULTIPROTEIN COMPLEXES.

|
WNK Lysine-Deficient Protein Kinase 1
|
D000076204 |
[A serine-threonine kinase which plays an important role in the regulation of electrolyte homeostasis, cell signaling, survival, and proliferation. It functions as an activator and inhibitor of sodium-coupled chloride co-transporters and as an inhibitor of potassium-coupled chloride co-transporters. Mutations in the WNK1 gene are associated with type 2C PSEUDOHYPOALDOSTERONISM and type 2A HEREDITARY SENSORY AND AUTONOMIC NEUROPATHIES.

|
WT1 Proteins
|
D025721 |
[Isoforms encoded by the WT1 Wilms tumor suppressor gene (GENES, WILMS TUMOR) and produced by alternative splicings. They are zinc finger-containing transcription factors involved in both transactivation and repression, and are critical for normal development and function of the urogenital tract.
] |
|
WW Domain-Containing Oxidoreductase
|
D000074584 |
[A short chain oxidoreductase that contains two N-terminal WW DOMAINS and functions as a tumor suppressor and in APOPTOSIS. It is also required for bone development.
] |
|
WW Domains
|
D000074585 |
[An approximately 40 amino acid protein domain that occurs in a variety of unrelated proteins and may be repeated up to four times in some proteins. It is characterized by two TRYPTOPHAN residues (WW) about 20 amino acids apart and folds into a stable triple-stranded BETA-SHEET. It binds PROLINE-RICH PROTEIN DOMAINS and PHOSPHOSERINE or PHOSPHOTHREONINE-containing protein domains that occur in many signal-transducing and cytoskeletal proteins such as DYSTROPHIN.

|
Waardenburg Syndrome
|
D014849 |
[Rare, autosomal dominant disease with variable penetrance and several known clinical types. Characteristics may include depigmentation of the hair and skin, congenital deafness, heterochromia iridis, medial eyebrow hyperplasia, hypertrophy of the nasal root, and especially dystopia canthorum. The underlying cause may be defective development of the neural crest (neurocristopathy). Waardenburg's syndrome may be closely related to piebaldism. Klein-Waardenburg Syndrome refers to a disorder that also includes upper limb abnormalities.

Waikavirus
|
D019193 |
[A genus of plant viruses in the family SEQUIVIRIDAE. Transmission is by leafhoppers or APHIDS and depends on a self-encoded helper protein. The type species is Rice tungro spherical virus.

Waist Circumference
|
D055105 |

|
D065927 |
[The ratio of WAIST CIRCUMFERENCE to BODY HEIGHT.
] |
|
Waist-Hip Ratio
|
D049629 |
[The waist circumference measurement divided by the hip circumference measurement. For both men and women, a waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) of 1.0 or higher is considered "at risk" for undesirable health consequences, such as heart disease and ailments associated with OVERWEIGHT. A healthy WHR is 0.90 or less for men, and 0.80 or less for women. (National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, 2004)
