Retrieve count or list of patients having diagnostic implications.
Retrieve count or list of patients having diagnostic implications. More specifically, this operation retrieves the count +/- list of patients that have diagnostic implications involving specific conditions, derived from specific variants/haplotypes/genotypes.
A patient meets numerator criteria if they have at least one diagnostic implication matching the query parameters.
As shown in the following picture, this operation can return previously instantiated implications and/or dynamically computed implications. Specific implementations can indicate their capabilities using a FHIR Capability Statement. Rules around the retention of dynamically computed implications are outside the scope of this operation, but a server could potentially instantiate those results based on the Therapeutic Implication, Diagnostic Implication, or Molecular Consequence FHIR profiles.
Population queries are designed to return a count of patients that match each item sought, with or without a list of patients matching the item(s) sought.

Valid response codes are shown in the following table. Additional response codes (e.g. 5xx server error) may also be encountered.

Over the course of the past two years, many patients have been tested for variants pathogenic for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (HBOC), Lynch syndrome (LS), and familial hypercholesterolemia (FH).
Recent knowledge base updates have added to the list of known pathogenic variants, and have reclassified the pathogenicity of many variants.
We now want to find patients that have pathogenic variants for HBOC, LS, or FH, based on the new knowledge base.
