Defining the phenotype in human genetic studies: forward genetics and reverse phenotyping.

Abstract excerpt

The definition of phenotypes for genetic study is a challenging endeavor. Just as we apply strict quality standards to genotype data, we should expect that phenotypes meet consistently high standards of reproducibility and validity. The methods for achieving accurate phenotype assignment in the research setting--the 'research diagnosis'--are different from the methods used in clinical diagnosis in the patient...
