Get specific properties of given ORPHAcodes.
Usage
get_label(orpha_codes)
get_classification_level(orpha_codes)
get_status(orpha_codes)
is_active(orpha_codes)
get_type(orpha_codes)Details
The label is the clinical entity name and is returned by get_label.
As multiple synonyms can be associated to a clinical entity, this function only returns the preferrential labels.
To get all synonyms instead, use get_synonyms. Besides, if the displayed language does not meet your needs,
you should consider changing options via RDaggregator_options() or adding a new nomenclature pack using add_nomenclature_pack().
The classification level is the clinical entity name and is returned by get_classification_level.
Classification level can either be a group of disorders, a disorder or a subtype of disorder.
The status of an ORPHAcode is a value contained in the following terms :
"Active", "Inactive: Deprecated", "Inactive: Obsolete", "Inactive: Non rare disease in Europe".
It is returned by get_status, while is_active just returns TRUE if status is "Active" and FALSE else.
The disorder type indicates the clinical entity's typology and is returned by get_type.
For more details, please read the full Orphanet description included in the nomenclature pack (.pdf).
Note
All properties described above are accessible in a combined format through the load_nomenclature function.
