Urobiome MIxS terms

[lschriml]

Request from Lisa Karstens karstens@ohsu.edu
I’ve been working on the urobiome mixs package.

I’ve noticed several terms that I typically work with are not well represented in the human disease ontology

For example, I have several studies that are investigating different types of urinary incontinence in women. When I search for urinary incontinence, many of the terms in the human disease ontology do not have the standard International Continence Society (ICS) definitions. Specifically, there is “urge incontinence” (SYMP:0000532); however the ICS term is urgency urinary incontinence

https://www.ics.org/glossary/symptom/urgencyurinaryincontinenceuui?q=urinary%20incontinence

Is there a way to get these terms updated?

Are these diseases or symptoms? Should we migrate this ticket to SYMP?
