PhenoTips 1.3 Milestone 5 Released

The PhenoTips development team is happy to announce the availability of the PhenoTips 1.3 Milestone 5 release. The highlights of the release are:

Patient record form

• When navigating away from a record, a warning is shown if there are unsaved changes
• Added "Life status" field in the patient form to allow more logical workflow when entering patient data.
• OMIM diagnosis suggestions are now shown in view mode too.
• PhenoTips is now storing genes by using Ensembl IDs internally, instead of using gene symbols. 
• Special wiki markup in several fields used to be interpreted; this has been disabled

Family charts

• Newly added menu option in the Pedigree Editor allows physicians to quickly mark pedigree node as "Alive & Well" or "Deceased".

Rest api

• Multiple patients can now be retrieved at once via REST given a list of (internal or external) IDs.

Bug fixes

• Cannot specify variant coordinates for variants entered prior to version 1.3M4
• The Families REST API endpoint does not check permissions properly
• Global mode of inheritance and Global age of onset cannot be pushed or imported
• "Chromosome: NA" displayed in the variant summary in edit mode
• Broken images displayed on the dashboard for groups without a specific image attached to them
• 'New patient' button often adds multiple patients from one click
• Legend is broken in pedigree editor
• An empty family with no pedigree has rights that are too permissive
• Users shouldn't be allowed to add comments on code pages
