@MickeySegal

I do not think that "goniodysgenesis" refers to a specific phenotypic observation, rather it is a description of the presumed pathophysiology - inference rather than observation. See for instance this article - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5407778/. It is preferable to use the specific HPO terms, such as Shallow anterior chamber HP:0000594

Also, this word is hardly used in the current medical literature.

Please reopen if there is a specific phenotypic observation that we can define.
