detached otolithic membrane MP:0003145 - revise definition and EQ

[anna-anagnostop]

detached otolithic membrane MP:0003145 is currently defined as:

CURRENT DEF: The otolithic (otoconial) membrane is abnormally detached from the underlying neuroepithelium

Current EQ is incorrect:
has part some (detached from and (towards some otolithic part of statoconial membrane) and (has modifier some abnormal))

Amend definition to read as:
SUGGESTED DEF: part or all of the otolithic (otoconial) membrane is abnormally separated from the sensory epithelium (macula) of the utricle and/or saccule
Cross-reference: PMID: 22116368

EQ needs to use abnormallyDetachedAnatomicalEntity pattern (which must first be corrected to use singular form in pattern name and 'detached from' PATO_0001453 instead of just 'detached' (reopen uPheno issue #692 )

Should the EQ be using characteristic of part of?

• anatomical_entity = otolithic part of statoconial membrane (ok)
• anatomical_entity_detached_from = use vestibular epithelium ?

[anna-anagnostop]

Definition has been amended as suggested above.

Incorrect EQ has been removed; correct EQ will be updated once the relevant pattern has been fixed.

EQ will use anatomical_entity_detached_from = vestibular epithelium, a higher level term that covers both the 'epithelium of saccule' and 'epithelium of utricle" (EQ can't do an "and/or")

Per Sue: "I don't think this would be 'characteristic of part of'. We wouldn't want to say for example that a detached retina was a detached eye"; see obophenotype/upheno#692
