If an HP term is a cancer, should it be classified as a cancer or a phenotype? #350

Closed siiraa closed 7 years ago

siiraa commented 7 years ago

Transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder (HP_0006740) and Glioblastoma (HP_0100843) are HP terms in DO and are cancer disease terms. The fundamental principle of disease VS phenotype prevents HP to be classified as a disease in DO.

Can we find a solution to somehow classify these two examples under DO:cancer?

Hello Sira, glioblastoma == DO's glioblastoma multiforme (DOID:3068)

Transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder == (in DO) == bladder urothelial carcinoma DOID:4006

These are both examples of nomenclature updates.

Try searching DO's synonyms to find these matches.

Cheers, Lynn
