Expansion of the Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) knowledge base and resources.
The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO)-a standardized vocabulary of phenotypic abnormalities associated with 7000+ diseases-is used by thousands of researchers, clinicians, informaticians and electronic health record systems around the world. Its detailed descriptions of clinical abnormalities and computable disease definitions have made HPO the de facto standard for deep phenotyping in the field of rare disease. The HPO\u27s interoperability with other ontologies has enabled it to be used to improve diagnostic accuracy by incorporating model organism data. It also plays a key role in the popular Exomiser tool, which identifies potential disease-causing variants from whole-exome or whole-genome sequencing data. Since the HPO was first introduced in 2008, its users have become both more numerous and more diverse. To meet these emerging needs, the project has added new content, language translations, mappings and computational tooling, as well as integrations with external community data. The HPO continues to collaborate with clinical adopters to improve specific areas of the ontology and extend standardized disease descriptions. The newly redesigned HPO website (www.human-phenotype-ontology.org) simplifies browsing terms and exploring clinical features, diseases, and human genes
The Human Phenotype Ontology in 2024: phenotypes around the world.
The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) is a widely used resource that comprehensively organizes and defines the phenotypic features of human disease, enabling computational inference and supporting genomic and phenotypic analyses through semantic similarity and machine learning algorithms. The HPO has widespread applications in clinical diagnostics and translational research, including genomic diagnostics, gene-disease discovery, and cohort analytics. In recent years, groups around the world have developed translations of the HPO from English to other languages, and the HPO browser has been internationalized, allowing users to view HPO term labels and in many cases synonyms and definitions in ten languages in addition to English. Since our last report, a total of 2239 new HPO terms and 49235 new HPO annotations were developed, many in collaboration with external groups in the fields of psychiatry, arthrogryposis, immunology and cardiology. The Medical Action Ontology (MAxO) is a new effort to model treatments and other measures taken for clinical management. Finally, the HPO consortium is contributing to efforts to integrate the HPO and the GA4GH Phenopacket Schema into electronic health records (EHRs) with the goal of more standardized and computable integration of rare disease data in EHRs

Two prospective, multicenter studies for the identification of biomarker signatures for early detection of pulmonary hypertension (PH): The CIPHER and CIPHER‐MRI studies
Publication status: PublishedFunder: Actelion Pharmaceuticals Ltd, a Johnson & Johnson CompanyAbstractA blood test identifying patients at increased risk of pulmonary hypertension (PH) could streamline the investigative pathway. The prospective, multicenter CIPHER study aimed to develop a microRNA‐based signature for detecting PH in breathless patients and enrolled adults with a high suspicion of PH who had undergone right heart catheterization (RHC). The CIPHER‐MRI study was added to assess the performance of this CIPHER signature in a population with low probability of having PH who underwent cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) instead of RHC. The microRNA signature was developed using a penalized linear regression (LASSO) model. Data were modeled both with and without N‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP). Signature performance was assessed against predefined thresholds (lower 98.7% CI bound of ≥0.73 for sensitivity and ≥0.53 for specificity, based on a meta‐analysis of echocardiographic data), using RHC as the true diagnosis. Overall, 926 CIPHER participants were screened and 888 were included in the analysis. Of 688 RHC‐confirmed PH cases, approximately 40% were already receiving PH treatment. Fifty microRNA (from 311 investigated) were algorithmically selected to be included in the signature. Sensitivity [97.5% CI] of the signature was 0.85 [0.80–0.89] for microRNA‐alone and 0.90 [0.86–0.93] for microRNA+NT‐proBNP, and the corresponding specificities were 0.33 [0.24–0.44] and 0.28 [0.20–0.39]. Of 80 CIPHER‐MRI participants with evaluable data, 7 were considered PH‐positive by cMRI whereas 52 were considered PH‐positive by the microRNA signature. Due to low specificity, the CIPHER miRNA‐based signature for PH (either with or without NT‐proBNP in model) did not meet the prespecified diagnostic threshold for the primary analysis.</jats:p
Evaluation of a Cerebral-Blood-Volume (CBV) pharmaco-MRI (phMRI) assay utilizing low (0.1mg/70kg) and high (0.2mg/70kg) dose buprenorphine infusion and a novel USPIO contrast agent (Ferumoxytol) in healthy human subjects
We present results from a clinical trial of pharmaco-MRI (phMRI) employing cerebral blood volume (CBV) imaging using ferumoxytol (Rienso/Feraheme, AMAG) as a blood pool contrast agent. The study examined the pharmacodynamic effects of two single doses of buprenorphine (0.2mg/70kg and 0.1mg/70kg administered intravenously). We found that contrast-enhanced CBV phMRI signals are more sensitive reporters of pharmacodynamic effects than conventional blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) phMRI. In particular, higher sensitivity of CBV phMRI compared to BOLD allows for elucidation of PD responses at lower doses of buprenorphine, which has practical implications for similar phMRI studies with centrally acting drugs
