abbreviations for loci #17

A very small detail. Either we use THO1 and TPOX. Or THO and TPO. They should match.

What should it be? I just copied the list from the mock-up

nrbiocom commented 11 years ago

Then my bad apparently. I think for this purpose we decided on a 3 character max. So unless Keith feels strongly otherwise, lets use THO and TPO.

Given the genetic origin of this, and assuming that we have room and want to be technically correct, it should be TH01, as TH0 makes no sense (and is even wrong, as it's 1, not 0).

TPO/TPOX, on the other hand, is thyroid peroxidase, and is appropriately labeled TPO (Oh, not zero), and the X is not required.

Then TPO should be TPOX. It is a more fundamental question. When we did this the first time it seemed to be convenient to max characters at 3. If we are writing the whole name, then let's just write the whole correct name for each locus. It may have had to to do with vertical rather than horizontal format. I originally voted for the whole name and was overruled. Since it is easy (I think) and we are now in vertical format, should I just provide the whole correct name for each locus (including the additional kits)?

Recollect this was historical from Xing insisting we limit to 3 characters. Ideally it should be TOPX and THO1
