NOTE: is there no difference between bodily feature and phenotype? Here are
some examples to work with:
1. Cough?
- it is clearly a Clinical Feature. But is it a (clinical) Phenotype?
- if we think of Cough as a function of the respiratory system and its
purpose is to clear the breathing
passages of irritants, excess secretions etc., then it can thought of as a
Phenotype.

2. Pain?
3. Dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing)?

The problem is that scientists use phenotype both to refer to something as
atomic as
eye color as well as to refer to an entire constellation of features such
as with
Down syndrome.
