Testicular dysgenesis #10888

Open evanc1648 opened 1 day ago

evanc1648 commented 1 day ago

HPO term HP:0008715

Suggested revision of textual definition Abnormal development of the testis or testes.

Is this actually what is intended here and not "testicular dysgenesis syndrome"? The alternative would be called gonadal dysgenesis 46 XY and not testicular dysgenesis. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK539886/ . This may be what is intended here.

I'm not aware of the original intentions behind the term, but I've suggested a definition for a term that currently lacks one. "Gonadal dysgenesis" (HP:0000133) and "Gonadal dysgenesis, male" (HP:0008668) are existing HPO terms, with the latter having the textual definition mentioned, while the former is undefined. "Testicular dysgenesis" (HP:0008715) may be redundant unless an alternative definition was originally intended. Additionally, could "Testicular dysgenesis" be added as a synonym to "Gonadal dysgenesis, male"? Thank you for your insights and help!
