Revise textual definition of Panniculitis ? #10359

Closed anna-anagnostop closed 7 months ago

anna-anagnostop commented 7 months ago

Panniculitis HP:0012490 is broadly defined as "Inflammation of adipose tissue", whereas panniculitis MP:0011164 specifically denotes "inflammation of the subcutaneous adipose tissue" and has recently been made a child of adipose tissue inflammation MP:0020386.

Moreover, panniculus adiposus is defined as "the fatty layer of the subcutaneous tissues", see UBERON:0013488. The DO and MONDO definitions are in agreement with the MP, see DOID:1526 and MONDO:0006591.

Other sources I have checked specifically denote "inflammation of the subcutaneous adipose tissue , see:

DermNet, DynaMed, PMID: 20666823, PMID: 27321570, PMID: 28844095.

Should the HP definition be revised? see also old HPO ticket #210.

Many thanks,

Anna

@anna-anagnostop thanks! You are correct, the word "subcutaneous" was missing. I have updated the definition and added citations.
