This way you have verification in writing of why you chose to keep it this way in case you are questioned on your choice of interpretation.

Subject: I took this from a previous post about eponyms... sm
According to BOS
eponyms
"While the use of the possessive form with eponyms remains acceptible, AAMT's preference is generally to drop the possessive form.
Apgar score, Babinski sign, Down syndrome, Gram stain, Hodgkin lymphoma.
Sometimes an awkward construction calls for use of the possessive form. This patient suffers from Hodgkin's."
