Disease Name Eponym Replacement Vector

disease_eponyms.Rd

A named character vector for correcting proper noun (eponym) capitalization in disease entry names after they have been parsed by parse_omim_name(). Names are the lowercase form of each word; values are the correctly capitalized replacement (e.g. c("waardenburg" = "Waardenburg")).

Usage

disease_eponyms

Format

A named character vector. Names are lowercase words; values are their correctly capitalized replacements. Length 0 until first curation run.

Details
