"""HPO ontology handling: propagation and information content. Shared by scripts/load-hpo.py, which writes the tables the API ranks against, and rarelens_ml.benchmark, which scores that ranking. It lives in the package rather than in the script so the arithmetic underneath the project's main scientific claim is covered by tests. Two ideas, both standard practice and both absent from the first version of the ranking: **Propagation.** HPO's gene annotations are direct. A gene linked to "Aortic root aneurysm" is not also linked to "Aortic aneurysm", so matching case terms by exact ID missed any patient whose description sat one level away from the curator's chosen term. The annotation propagation rule says a gene annotated with a term is annotated with all of that term's ancestors; matching then works in both directions without the ranking knowing the ontology exists. **Information content.** IC(term) = -ln(share of genes carrying it). After propagation almost every gene carries "Abnormality of the cardiovascular system", so its IC is near zero, while "Dilated left subclavian artery" is worth a great deal. Counting terms alike let a patient's "Global developmental delay" count as much as a near-pathognomonic sign.
