Dataset	MPO Gene-Phenotype Associations
Category	disease or phenotype associations
Type	phenotype
Description	An increased sensitivity of the skin to light. Photosensitivity may result in a rash upon exposure to the sun (which is known as photodermatosis). Photosensitivity can be diagnosed by phototests in which light is shone on small areas of skin. (Human Phenotype Ontology, HP_0000992)
