Wrong studies being linked to EFO #4

Open mightyphil2000 opened 3 years ago

mightyphil2000 commented 3 years ago

When I search for the EFO "non-melanoma skin carcinoma" I get taken to this page https://www.ebi.ac.uk/gwas/efotraits/EFO_0009260

The page mistakenly lists a lot of studies that aren't skin cancer studies. I think what's happening is that non-melanoma skin cancer includes cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas and the page is listing all cancers that are of the squamous cell carcinoma type rather than just skin cancer studies.

Hi @mightyphil2000, Apologies for the delay in getting back to you. It is a problem with the underlying ontology and our ontologists need to look at it in more detail. Aoife

Tested via GUI and download 14/7/21 - query still retrieves non skin related data as user subscribes. Contacting ontology team for follow up.
