request from Melissa
we have 128 models of lipid storage disease in the DO but the MP terms don’t really allow for abnormal lipid storage or abnormal lipid trafficking or whatever so I’m stuck with abnormal lipid homeostasis, which is not very satisfying
New terms abnormal lipid storage - see GO lipid storage (GO:0019915) abnormal lipid trafficking - see GO lipid transport (GO:0006869)
Both GO terms fall under localization (GO:0051179), not sure if lipid homeostasis is the correct parent, but I don't see a better place in the MP for this.
Look at phenotypes in HPO for Sandhoff disease and other lipid storage diseases to see if there are better terms.
