Mixin Usage

mixed into description
GenomicBackgroundExposure A genomic background exposure is where an individual's specific genomic background of genes, sequence variants or other pre-existing genomic conditions constitute a kind of 'exposure' to the organism, leading to or influencing an outcome.
PathologicalProcessExposure A pathological process, when viewed as an exposure, representing a precondition, leading to or influencing an outcome, e.g. autoimmunity leading to disease.
PathologicalAnatomicalExposure An abnormal anatomical structure, when viewed as an exposure, representing an precondition, leading to or influencing an outcome, e.g. thrombosis leading to an ischemic disease outcome.
DiseaseOrPhenotypicFeatureExposure A disease or phenotypic feature state, when viewed as an exposure, represents an precondition, leading to or influencing an outcome, e.g. HIV predisposing an individual to infections; a relative deficiency of skin pigmentation predisposing an individual to skin cancer.
ChemicalExposure A chemical exposure is an intake of a particular chemical entity.
DrugExposure A drug exposure is an intake of a particular drug.
Treatment A treatment is targeted at a disease or phenotype and may involve multiple drug 'exposures', medical devices and/or procedures
BioticExposure An external biotic exposure is an intake of (sometimes pathological) biological organisms (including viruses).
GeographicExposure A geographic exposure is a factor relating to geographic proximity to some impactful entity.
EnvironmentalExposure A environmental exposure is a factor relating to abiotic processes in the environment including sunlight (UV-B), atmospheric (heat, cold, general pollution) and water-born contaminants.
BehavioralExposure A behavioral exposure is a factor relating to behavior impacting an individual.
SocioeconomicExposure A socioeconomic exposure is a factor relating to social and financial status of an affected individual (e.g. poverty).
