definition
2
causes or contributes to conditionQuestion: Is a gene an "entity"?
If not, we would need a similar term where entity = gene

- note: this fits the data from the Alliance
RO_0003302A relationship between an entity (e.g. a genotype, genetic variation, chemical, or environmental exposure) and a condition (a phenotype or disease), where the entity has some causal or contributing role that influences the condition.
3
causes condition

alternative: is causal mutation/variation in
- condition = disease
- variant in gene is causal to disease
- could be Mendelian or not (ie germline and somatic)
RO_0003303A relationship between an entity (e.g. a genotype, genetic variation, chemical, or environmental exposure) and a condition (a phenotype or disease), where the entity has some causal role for the condition.
4
is causal germline mutation in(from Peter's notes): Variants in gene cause disease in Mendelian fashionRO_0004013Relates a gene to condition, such that a mutation in this gene is sufficient to produce the condition and that can be passed on to offspring
5
is causal somatic mutation in(from Peter's notes): Cancer related variants, simplest case of somatic mutationRO_0004014Relates a gene to condition, such that a mutation in this gene is sufficient to produce the condition but that cannot be passed on to offspring

8
contributes to condition
- condition = disease
- variant in gene does not "on its own" cause the disease
RO_0003304A relationship between an entity (e.g. a genotype, genetic variation, chemical, or environmental exposure) and a condition (a phenotype or disease), where the entity has some contributing role that influences the condition.
9
is causal germline mutation partially giving rise to- for digenic, olygogenic
RO_0004016Relates a gene to condition, such that a mutation in this gene partially contributes to the presentation of this condition
10
contributes/is correlated to condition (=cancer)
note: we might not need a new RO term, we might be ok with using the parent term.
Cancer related variants - But cancer is rarely caused by one somatic mutation and so the relation of the gene to disease is not simple.
Suggestion:
Somatic_mutation_somehow_related_to_tumorigenesis (come up with label to express this)
(new!) or use the parent term
11
confers susceptibility to condition- variant in gene confers or influence susceptibility to a condition
- could be mendelian or not
- note: 'is causal susceptibiltity factor for': the definition is probably too strong for what we want to communicate (def: relates a gene to condition, such that a mutation in this gene predisposes to the development of a condition and that is necessary but not sufficient to develop the condition)
(new!) (new!) Relates a gene to condition, such that a mutation in this gene predisposes to the development of a condition.
