Thanks for pointing this out. In some cases, the phrases above are synonyms, and this seems valid because one does see these synonyms "out in the wild". For now, I am going to remove the brackets from the primary term name -- would this work for you?
Thanks Peter. Well, for my purposes I am using both - names and synonyms, so I will have to do pre-processing anyway if brackets stay in synonyms. But, in general, I was wondering whether the brackets are a valid way to represent terms in HPO. For example, when I'm looking for HPO terms in some free text, should I look for the exact term "Hemisacrum (S2-S5)"? Looking for just "Hemisacrum" would be invalid?
After thinking some more, it is apparent that there are phrases such as "Abnormal CSF A[beta]42 level" that require a bracket. I think it is a good idea to avoid brackets if at all possible in the main term names, but since the synonyms are also being used for text mining by many groups, I think we need to retain the brackets if that is how they are being used in the community. I am going to continue to revise the main terms names in this list (THANKS very much by the way for this input!) and I will close this item once I am done (Sorry there is an upcoming grant deadline so I have limited time right now!).
Thanks for these suggestions. I have not been able to remove all parentheses from all terms/synonyms, since in some cases it is appropriate and necessary. But now ca. 95% are removed, this was a good suggestion.
Below is a list of terms that contain brackets in name or synonym strings. These strings should probably be presented differently.
Larger part of the brackets contain body parts, e.g.. "Acroosteolysis of distal phalanges (feet)”, and some brackets contain additional information, e.g., “Vocal cord paralysis (caused by tumor impingement)”. The concept "HP:0040037: obsolete Thin fingernail (obsolete))” seems not to follow the standard way for marking obsolete concepts.
Note that some brackets contain abbreviations which is reported in issue #897
