The term "bile acid measurement" (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/efo/EFO_0020050) has a mismatched definition related to diacylglycerol 30:1 levels and an unexpected parent term "sterol measurement" (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/efo/EFO_0010231).

The parent term might not be completely wrong, as bile acids are apparently "steroid acids" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bile_acid) but it still doesn't sound quite like the most appropriate parent.

I have updated this definition and two others (diacylglycerol 30:1 levels and diacylglycerol 30:0 levels). For now I have kept bile acid measurement as a child of sterol measurement after discussing with the team and finding no better suited parent, but happy to update if you have any suggestions. These changes will be seen in the December release.

I just got some follow-up suggestions for making the parent terms more precise/detail, in case you want to take these into account:

The term “bile acid measurement” should probably be made a child of “lipid measurement”

If someone wanted to be really industrious, the existing term “glycholic acid measurement” should be made a child of “bile acid measurement”, since it is a specific bile acid.
