MONDO Search Help

Allowed ontology (MONDO IDs)

MONDO (Monarch Disease Ontology) merges several different vocabularies into a single ontology structure, including some non-human disease ontologies. These include Orphanet, OMIM, Disease Ontology (DO), NCIt, EFO and others.

The interfaces support the entry of MONDO IDs, which may be mapped to one or more different ontologies such as those listed above.

Finding a MONDO term

Use the MONDO OLS Search to find the correct disease term (this search is linked from the disease selection screen in the ClinGen interfaces). Note: be certain you are only searching MONDO in the OLS as it supports the search of a wide variety of ontologies:

Using MONDO search

The MONDO OLS has a type-ahead function. Below is an example of what is found after typing “preimpla”

If you select a term from the first list or use the search button, you will be taken to a search results page with filtering options.

If you "jump to" a term with a MONDO ID, you will be taken directly to the page for that ID.

Return to the curation interface paste the MONDO ID into the "Add Disease" selection screen:
