The spreadsheet to review is here
This branch is currently messy, and further review is necessary. The terms seem to be used inconsistently:
'disorder of development or morphogenesis' (MONDO:0021147) Any disease or disorder that disrupts the process development of an anatomical structure. Can be due to genetic or environmental causes. Typically happens during embryogenesis, but also includes post-embryonic development. According to this definition, "any" abnormality that is congenital or found in newborns should be in this class. However, these abnormalities should be focused on an anatomical structure. I found in this branch several diseases for which the etiology is an abnormal anatomical structure. Should these diseases be part of this branch? (that would probably be most diseases)
'developmental defect during embryogenesis' A disease that has its basis in the disruption of embryonic morphogenesis. This definition is very confusing. Does it mean "embryonic" or "in the fetus" or "before birth"? The diseases under this class include all of these. Therefore it brings the question "what is the difference between this class and the one above"?
In summary, this branch absolutely needs to be reviewed independently of the mass obsoletion. When reviewing the spreadsheet I:
@sabrinatoro nice work! I recommended a few more terms stay in the branch on the basis that they can be considered abnormalities in anatomical structures that arose during development or morphogenesis. Feel free to take them or leave them. I agree that future review is needed to improve the consistency of the terms in this branch.
Thank you @katiermullen !
There are some comments from the community that should be reviewed, but this is future work. This issue can be closed for now.
