This document lists controlled terms that represent measurable or
definable aspects of a biomarker entity. These terms indicate what
property, modification, or characteristic of the biomarker is being
evaluated, enabling structured representation of natural language
phrases such as "increased IL6 level" or "presence of BRCA2 mutation".
Each entry consists of the following line codes:
