Summary: Get gene phenotypes
Operation ID: getGenePhenotypes
Auth: none

Retrieve phenotype associations for a specific gene. Given a gene symbol or Ensembl ID, returns disease associations, GWAS hits, and other phenotype data linked to the gene. Useful for understanding what diseases or traits a gene is associated with. Each association includes source, description, and statistical significance if available.

Original spec description

Retrieve phenotype annotations associated with a gene.

Usage Tips

- Gene can be specified as symbol (BRCA2) or Ensembl ID (ENSG00000139618) - Sources include OMIM, ClinVar, GWAS catalog, and Orphanet - Each association includes a p-value if from GWAS - The `phenotype` field describes the condition or trait - Multiple associations per gene are common - the same gene may be linked to different phenotypes
