CLINICAL MEASUREMENT - ANNOTATIONS

The Clinical Measurement Ontology (CMO), Measurement Methods Ontology (MMO), and Experimental Condition Ontology (XCO) are currently being developed at the Rat Genome Database. For more information about these vocabularies please see Shimoyama et al. Three ontologies to define phenotype measurement data. Front Genet. 2012;3:87.

Accession:CMO:0002787 term browser browse the term
Definition:A calculated value in which the weight of the heart left ventricle is divided by the length of the tibia (the medial and larger of the two bones of the lower leg of bipeds or hindlimb of quadrupeds which articulates with the femur, fibula, and talus), and the result is presented as a ratio, fraction, quotient or percentage,thus normalizing it to the length of the leg and, by extension, to the size of the body.
Synonyms:exact_synonym: LV weight/tibial length
