Incomplete metadata #5

Open stuppie opened 5 years ago

Hi there. I've come across a couple samples where the metadata doesn't match completely what is on GEO. Do you know why this happens? For example:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GSM1051525

In GEOmetadb: 'subject: Patient;\tcell type: PBL;\tdisease state: Rheumatoid arthritis'

It is missing age, gender, smoking status..
