Term in Question

"Laboratory animal science"

Error Description

This study involves humans; it's therefore not generally considered 'laboratory animal science'.

Proposed Correction Type

replace value

Proposed Correction

Replace 'Laboratory animal science' with 'Oncology' http://edamontology.org/topic_2640 , which is more appropriate

Evidence or Reasoning for the Correction

The study looks at women who cleared an HPV infection vs ones who did not clear the infection and went on to develop precancer/cancer. This looks at genetic variation in the immunologic response between the two populations; hence the other two topicCategory values for this record (Genetics, Immunology) make sense. 'Animal laboratory science' does not make sense as this study appears to have used human subjects
