Question has come up: Should abnormal presence of an anatomical entity (not normally present in that organism, e.g. female reproductive organ appearing in males) be considered "ectopic"/"mislocalized" or should there be a separate pattern for "abnormalPresenceOfAnatomicalEntity"?
The MP has the term true hermaphroditism but the EQ uses the PATO term hermaphrodite has part some ( PATO_0001340 and inheres in some UBERON_0000468 and RO_0002573 some PATO_0000460) I don't think we have any other terms for abnormal presence of an anatomical entity that have logical definitions. We do have 'ovotestis' but that does not have a logical definition. I would be very reluctant to use mislocalized or ectopic for this, so I think an "abnormalPresenceOfAnatomicalEntity" pattern could be useful.
Would others be OK with making this the pattern for "ectopic" terms? Or do we feel we need a separate pattern? If we're ok with this pattern for "ectopic" terms, does anyone object to adding an exact synonym "ectopic %s"?
@dosumis can you further the discussion on this :P Thanks!
We discussed this on the phenotype call today:
