Hi curators (and anyone else interested in this),
We have made a judgment call about the phenotypic categories. The four possible values will be Major, Intermedia, Minor and Unclear. If your mutation does not fit clearly into one of the first 3 categories, or you do not have enough information, simply use the 4th "Unclear" category. Then be sure to explain this in the Comments field. For example, if in an article you find a mutation that is only described as related to beta-plus-thalassemia, you would select "Unclear" as the phenotype and then write something like, "phenotype listed in article as beta-plus-thalassemia."
Does this make sense? If you have any questions, or if you think of a better way to handle this, please post here!
