Disease Name Capitalization Pattern Vector

A named character vector of phrase-level regex substitutions applied to lowercased disease entry names by parse_omim_name(), after word-level disease_eponyms replacements. Use disease_cap_patterns for words whose correct capitalization depends on context (e.g. SHORT as an acronym in SHORT syndrome vs short as an adjective elsewhere).

Usage

disease_cap_patterns

Format

A named character vector. Names are case-insensitive regex patterns; values are their replacements. Length 0 until first curation run.

Details

Names are case-insensitive regex patterns matched against the full lowercased name; values are the replacement strings. Longer patterns take priority over shorter ones, and patterns override conflicting disease_eponyms substitutions.
