HUMAN PHENOTYPE - ANNOTATIONS

The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) is downloaded weekly from http://compbio.charite.de/hudson/job/hpo/lastStableBuild/artifact/ontology/release/hp.obo. The file downloaded is considered the "last stable build" available for the ontology. For more about the HPO, view their website at http://www.human-phenotype-ontology.org/.

Definition:An arterial lesion that is characterized by either intimal fibroplasia, with neointimal lesions of cells and matrix deposition, or medial fibroplasia, in which there is loss of smooth muscle cells and increased deposition of collagen and proteoglycans in the medial layer.
Comment:Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is distinct from atherosclerotic lesions in that FMD lesions do not contain inflammatory cells or lipids. Instead, the pathology of FMD. FMD can result in arterial stenosis or occlusion, and less commonly, arterial dissection or aneurysm formation. FMD can affect almost any artery but most commonly affects the renal arteries, presenting as hypertension, and the carotid and vertebral arteries, leading to ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attacks, headaches, and pulsatile tinnitus.
