| Profiles: | |
| ObservationForGenetics | Describes how the observation resource is used to report structured genetic test results |
| Extensions: | |
| observation-geneticsSequence | Sequence : Refer to the Sequence resource, representing genetics data. |
| observation-geneticsSource | GenomicSourceClass : Genomic source class means category of source of tissue sample used to determine the sequence: Germline / Somatic / Prenatal / Likely Germline / Likely Somatic / Likely Prenatal / Unknown Genomic Origin. |
| observation-geneticsVariationHGVS | ObservedVariantHGVS : Observed Amino acid / cDNA /RNA variant following HGVS nomenclature. |
| observation-geneticsVariationType | VariationType : Type of variation expressed using Sequence Ontology or LOINC answer list: Wild type / Deletion / Duplication / Insertion / Insertion or Deletion / Inversion / Substitution. |
| observation-geneticsGene | Gene : Gene in which the sequence is found. Currently values from HGNC are supported. Other systems or genes not defined in HGNC (e.g. BCR-ABL fusion gene) can be added by using local extension. |
| observation-geneticsRegion | Region : Gene region at which the region is mapped (e.g. "exon19"). |
| observation-geneticsAminoAcidVariation | PredictedAminoAcidChange : HGVS nomenclature for predicted amino acid change. |
