+# App Behavior in Case of Missing Data
+
+Missing data with regards to PharMe can occur when there is a mismatch
+between genes or diplotypes in the lab report, in the annotations,
+and in CPIC lookups.
+
+Lookups are fetched from CPIC and matched with users' diplotypes from the lab.
+Sometimes, genes or diplotypes might be unknown.
+
+This page collects the app's current and desired behavoir in such cases for
+further discussion, as of August 28, 2023.
+
+**Baseline: this should not happen, we will test the lab results before, but**
+**need to define what happens especially if missing genotype.**
+
+**TODO (from meeting w/ Aniwaa): gene report should also show genes in**
+**annotations but not in report (“not tested”); case that CPIC does not know**
+**genotypes should not happen, will handle manually for now (pre-processing**
+**script)**
+
+
+## App Behavior
+
+**Biggest question: should we overwrite (known) lab phenotypes with**
+**Indeterminate? We will not be able to map to CPIC guidelines currently**
+
+**Also test: can we get different annotations for "Indeterminate" vs.**
+**"No Result" in app?**
+
+☑️ TODO: split up cases by examples
+
+| Page | Case | Desired behavior | Current behavior | TODO |
+| ---- | --- | ----------------- | ---------------- | ---- |
+| Gene report | Gene in lab results not in lookups (e.g., APOE) | Not shown in gene results | ✅ | – |
+| Gene report | Gene in lookups not in lab results | Not shown in gene results | ✅ | – |
+| Gene report | Unknown diplotype | Shown in results with "Indeterminate" phenotype | Not shown in gene results | (1) Show known genes with unknown diplotype as Indeterminate; (2) Overwrite lab phenotype as "Indeterminate" if CPIC lookup not present |
+| Gene detail | Unknown diplotype | As in report, diplotype shown; drugs with guidelines only for this gene should map to "Indeterminate" status | Not shown in gene results, so not getting here | Fix (1) in report and come back here; will probably need to overwrite lab phenotype with "Indeterminate", might be directly fixed by (2) |
+| Drug search | Unknown gene (only guideline gene) | Not sure if it makes sense to publish such guidelines we cannot show; if there, should show "Indeterminate" status | Warning shown in script that maps FDA guidenlines to CPIC lookups; "Amifampridrine" currently staged and shown, showing as "Indeterminate" (but will probably be removed, as NAT2 not inclued in new test) | – |
+| Drug search | Unknown or missing diplotype | Should show "Unknown" status | ✅ | – |
+| Drug search | Unknown or missing diplotype (multiple guideline genes) | Should show status based on guideline for present gene (or "Unknown", if all are not known) | **Cannot test currently, as no such guidelines; test indeterminate and missing** | ? |
+| Drug detail | Unknown or missing gene (only guideline gene) | Guideline should be shown as "Unknown"; if unknown, maybe instead of gene, "no guidelines present" should be shown; if missing, this should be shown | Guideline is "Indeterminate", phenotype is not; need to test for missing | See (2); maybe shown "no guidelines present" |
+| Drug detail | Unknown diplotype | Guideline and phenotype should be shown as "Indeterminate" | Guideline is "Indeterminate", phenotype is not | See (2) |
+| Drug detail | Unknown or missing gene or diplotype (multiple guideline genes) | See drug search; if unknown gene, hide in "your genome"; if missing, this should be shown | **Cannot test currently, as no such guidelines; test indeterminate and missing** | ?; probably will need to hide unknown gene and overwrite unknown diplotype phenotype |

+## Test Data for Cases Above
+
+See the example below. User is `???`, password `1234`.
+
+* `CYP2D6`: all good, gene known, diplotype known
+* `CYP2C19`: gene known, diplotype unknown (second star allele made up)
+* `APOE`: gene not known (also, no guideline in Anni)
+* `NAT2`: gene not known (but guideline in Anni; should be no difference to
+ no guideline in Anni, but for testing)
