Human Phenotype Ontology
The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) is a formal
hereditary disease
.
Motivation
The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) was created in 2008 at the Charité to serve as a standardized vocabulary of phenotypic abnormalities that have been seen in human disease. Applications for the data in the ontology include clinical diagnostics, mapping between phenotypes of model organisms, and as a standard vocabulary for clinical databases. Clinical annotations within the HPO are sought from the medical and genetics community to improve the ontology.
