FEV/FEC ratio vs FEV/FVC

[DSuveges]

Hi,

One of our user noticed that certain GWAS Catalog studies measuring FEV1 FVC ratio it is mapped to FEV/FEC ratio. The page of the term says:

• Synonym FEV/FVC, FEV1/FVC
• definition_citation: Is the measurement of the ratio of forced expiratory volume (FEV) to forced vital capacity (FCV), used as a measure of pulmonary function.

I'm not sure where the "FEC" part is coming from in the term label. Doing a search for examples, it mostly appear in resources where they are ingesting and re-distributing GWAS Catalog data. Could it be a typo? Or is there are good justification for this label?

Thank you for looking into this!

Thanks for bringing this to attention @DSuveges! I discussed this with GWAS and we concluded to change the label to the more common "FEV/FVC ratio" and add "FEV/FEC ratio" as a synonym. I also updated the definition to fix a typo.
