UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008064	Lipidoses	Conditions characterized by abnormal lipid deposition due to disturbance in lipid metabolism, such as hereditary diseases involving lysosomal enzymes required for lipid breakdown. They are classified either by the enzyme defect or by the type of lipid involved.	Lipidosis,Lipoidosis
D009542	Niemann-Pick Diseases	A group of autosomal recessive disorders in which harmful quantities of lipids accumulate in the viscera and the central nervous system. They can be caused by deficiencies of enzyme activities (SPHINGOMYELIN PHOSPHODIESTERASE) or defects in intracellular transport, resulting in the accumulation of SPHINGOMYELINS and CHOLESTEROL. There are various subtypes based on their clinical and genetic differences.	ASM Deficiency,ASM-Deficient Niemann-Pick Disease,Acid Sphingomyelinase Deficiency,Acid Sphingomyelinase-deficient Niemann-Pick Disease,Niemann-Pick Disease,ASM Deficiencies,ASM Deficient Niemann Pick Disease,ASM-Deficient Niemann-Pick Diseases,Acid Sphingomyelinase deficient Niemann Pick Disease,Deficiencies, ASM,Deficiencies, Acid Sphingomyelinase,Deficiency, ASM,Deficiency, Acid Sphingomyelinase,Disease, ASM-Deficient Niemann-Pick,Diseases, ASM-Deficient Niemann-Pick,Niemann Pick Disease,Niemann Pick Diseases,Niemann-Pick Disease, ASM-Deficient,Niemann-Pick Diseases, ASM-Deficient,Sphingomyelinase Deficiencies, Acid,Sphingomyelinase Deficiency, Acid
D010727	Phosphoric Diester Hydrolases	A class of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of one of the two ester bonds in a phosphodiester compound. EC 3.1.4.	Phosphodiesterase,Phosphodiesterases,Hydrolases, Phosphoric Diester
D004421	Dystonia	An attitude or posture due to the co-contraction of agonists and antagonist muscles in one region of the body. It most often affects the large axial muscles of the trunk and limb girdles. Conditions which feature persistent or recurrent episodes of dystonia as a primary manifestation of disease are referred to as DYSTONIC DISORDERS.

D006801	Humans	Members of the species Homo sapiens.	Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D013108	Sphingomyelin Phosphodiesterase	An enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of sphingomyelin to ceramide (N-acylsphingosine) plus choline phosphate. A defect in this enzyme leads to NIEMANN-PICK DISEASE. EC 3.1.4.12.	Sphingomyelin Cholinephosphohydrolase,Sphingomyelin Cleaving Enzyme,Sphingomyelinase,Sphingomyelinase C
