Hi All,

We have had requests to describe some of the phenotypes associated with the outcome of muscle biopsies. Many of the terms are already present, but some are not. Would it be appropriate to describe these in the HPO? For example, decreased/absent dystrophin in muscle by IHC? What are your thoughts? I will send a number of requests if felt to be appropriate.

Thanks,
Heather Trang

    Hi Heather,
    bascially, anything that is the outcome of a test done on a patient is appropriate for the HPO. So I think these terms are probably OK, please send them to the tracker.

    Human Phenotype Requests: #316

    Heather Trang - 2014-06-20

    Hi Peter,

    The following are terms that have been requested for description of findings on muscle biopsies. I'm not sure how best to categorize these findings within the ontology. For example, a separate supraterm for "abnormal muscle biopsy" with these as subterms could be considered, but any terms under abnormal muscle morphology that can be observed on muscle biopsy should then be mapped to both locations. I will let you consider. There is a long list of potential phenotypes observed by staining. This is likely simply a starting point. I tried to provide consistent and appropriate definitions.

    Sincerely,
    Heather

    I have added these terms. Note however, that I only made one term for the following:
    Reduced Lamin A/C Staining
    Reduced Lamin A/C Blotting
    This is because the HPO is not modeling lab investigations, and the phenotype is assumed to be the same for both investigations.
