10.6 Resource MolecularSequence - Content

Clinical Genomics Work GroupMaturity Level: 1 Trial UseSecurity Category: Patient Compartments: Patient

Raw data describing a biological sequence.

The Clinical Genomics committee has identified overlaps and redundancies between content in the MolecularSequence resource and content in Observation profiles in the evolving Implementation Guide for Clinical Genomics Reporting found here . The committee is considering options for modifying the resource and anticipates potential changes being brought forward in an upcoming ballot.

10.6.1 Scope and Usage

The MolecularSequence resource is designed to describe an atomic sequence which contains the alignment sequencing test result and multiple variations. Atomic sequences can be connected by link element and they will lead to sequence graph. By this method, a sequence can be reported. Complete genetic sequence information, of which specific genetic variations are a part, is reported by reference to the GA4GH repository. Thus, the FHIR MolecularSequence resource avoids large genomic payloads in a manner analogous to how the FHIR ImagingStudy resource references large images maintained in other systems. For use cases, details on how this resource interact with other Clinical Genomics resources or profiles, please refer to implementation guidance document here.

10.6.1.1 Genetic Standards and Resources include:

This resource is designed to describe sequence variations with clinical significance with information such as:

  • Name of the variation represented
  • Type of the variation
  • Gene region occupied by the variation
  • Tissue source used to determine genotype of the variation
  • Quality of the result

It is strongly encouraged to provide all available information in this resource for any reported variants, because receiving systems (e.g. discovery research, outcomes analysis, and public health reporting) may use this information to normalize variants over time or across sources. However, these data should not be used to dynamically correct/change variant representations for clinical use outside of the laboratory, due to insufficient information.

Implementers should be aware that semantic equivalency of results of genetic variants cannot be guaranteed unless there is an agreed upon standard between sending and receiving systems.

10.6.2 Boundaries and Relationships

Focus of the resource is to provide sequencing alignment data immediately relevant to what the interpretation on clinical decision-making originates from. Hence data such as precise read of DNA sequences and sequence alignment are not included; such data are nonetheless accessible through references to GA4GH (Global Alliance for Genomics and Health) API. The MolecularSequence resource will be referenced by Observation to provide variant information. As clinical assessments/diagnosis of a patient are typically captured in the Condition resource or the ClinicalImpression resource, the MolecularSequence resource can be referenced by the Condition resource to provide specific genetic data to support assertions. This is analogous to how Condition references other resources, such as AllergyIntolerance, Procedure, and Questionnaire resources.

10.6.3 References

This resource is referenced by itself and Observation.

This resource does not implement any patterns.

10.6.4.2 Constraints

idLevelLocationDescriptionExpression
msq-3Rule (base)Only 0 and 1 are valid for coordinateSystemcoordinateSystem = 1 or coordinateSystem = 0
msq-5Rule MolecularSequence.referenceSeqGenomeBuild and chromosome must be both contained if either one of them is contained(chromosome.empty() and genomeBuild.empty()) or (chromosome.exists() and genomeBuild.exists())
msq-6Rule MolecularSequence.referenceSeqHave and only have one of the following elements in referenceSeq : 1. genomeBuild ; 2 referenceSeqId; 3. referenceSeqPointer; 4. referenceSeqString;(genomeBuild.count()+referenceSeqId.count()+ referenceSeqPointer.count()+ referenceSeqString.count()) = 1

10.6.5 Notes:

10.6.5.1 MolecularSequence Coordinate System

When saving the variant information, the nucleic acid will be numbered with order. Some files are using 0-based coordinates (e.g. BCD file format) while some files are using 1-based coordinates (e.g. VCF file format). The element coordinateSystem in MolecularSequence resource contains this information.

MolecularSequence.coordinateSystem constraints within two possible values: 0 for 0-based system, which will mark the sequence from number 0, while 1 for 1-based system, which will begin marking the first position with number 1. The significant difference between two system is the end position. In 0-based system, the end position is exclusive, which means the last position will not be contained in the sequence window while in 1-based system, the end position is inclusive , which means the last position is included in the sequence window. Note both systems has an inclusive start position.

For example, ACGTGCAT will be numbered from 1 to 8 in 1-based system and will be numbered from 0 to 8 in 0-based system to mark flanks (i.e. place between two Nucleotide). So the interval [3,5] in 1-based system is GTG while interval [2,5) in 0-based system is same segment GTG.

10.6.5.2 Choice of Strand

There are lots of definition concerning with the Directionality of DNA or RNA. Here we are using referenceSeq.orientation and referenceSeq.strand. orientation represents the sense of the sequence, which has different meanings depending on the MolecularSequence.type. strand represents the sequence writing order. Watson strand refers to 5' to 3' top strand (5' -> 3'), whereas Crick strand refers to 5' to 3' bottom strand (3' <- 5').

10.6.5.3 String usage for reference sequence and observed sequence

We hope that string of observedSeq can be constrained more than just any normal string but with notation tables. Here we present what the nucleotide acid string should be constrained within the range:

A --> adenosine M --> A C (amino) U --> uridine H --> A C T V --> G C A
C --> cytidine S --> G C (strong) D --> G A T K --> G T (keto)
G --> guanine W --> A T (weak) R --> G A (purine) N --> A G C T (any)
T --> thymidine B --> G T C Y --> T C (pyrimidine) - --> gap of indeterminate length
while the amino acid string should be constrained within the range:
A alanine P proline B aspartate or asparagine Q glutamine
C cystine R arginine D aspartate S serine
E glutamate T threonine F phenylalanine U selenocysteine
G glycine V valine H histidine W tryptophan
I isoleucine Y tyrosine K lysine Z glutamate or glutamine
L leucine X any M methionine * translation stop
N asparagine - gap of indeterminate length

10.6.6 Search Parameters

Search parameters for this resource. The common parameters also apply. See Searching for more information about searching in REST, messaging, and services.

NameTypeDescriptionExpressionIn Common
chromosometokenChromosome number of the reference sequenceMolecularSequence.referenceSeq.chromosome
chromosome-variant-coordinatecompositeSearch parameter by chromosome and variant coordinate. This will refer to part of a locus or part of a gene where search region will be represented in 1-based system. Since the coordinateSystem can either be 0-based or 1-based, this search query will include the result of both coordinateSystem that contains the equivalent segment of the gene or whole genome sequence. For example, a search for sequence can be represented as `chromosome-variant-coordinate=1$lt345$gt123`, this means it will search for the MolecularSequence resource with variants on chromosome 1 and with position >123 and <345, where in 1-based system resource, all strings within region 1:124-344 will be revealed, while in 0-based system resource, all strings within region 1:123-344 will be revealed. You may want to check detail about 0-based v.s. 1-based above.On MolecularSequence.variant:

chromosome-window-coordinatecompositeSearch parameter by chromosome and window. This will refer to part of a locus or part of a gene where search region will be represented in 1-based system. Since the coordinateSystem can either be 0-based or 1-based, this search query will include the result of both coordinateSystem that contains the equivalent segment of the gene or whole genome sequence. For example, a search for sequence can be represented as `chromosome-window-coordinate=1$lt345$gt123`, this means it will search for the MolecularSequence resource with a window on chromosome 1 and with position >123 and <345, where in 1-based system resource, all strings within region 1:124-344 will be revealed, while in 0-based system resource, all strings within region 1:123-344 will be revealed.

referenceseqid-variant-coordinatecompositeSearch parameter by reference sequence and variant coordinate. This will refer to part of a locus or part of a gene where search region will be represented in 1-based system. Since the coordinateSystem can either be 0-based or 1-based, this search query will include the result of both coordinateSystem that contains the equivalent segment of the gene or whole genome sequence. For example, a search for sequence can be represented as `referenceSeqId-variant-coordinate=NC_000001.11$lt345$gt123`, this means it will search for the MolecularSequence resource with variants on NC_000001.11 and with position >123 and <345, where in 1-based system resource, all strings within region NC_000001.11:124-344 will be revealed, while in 0-based system resource, all strings within region NC_000001.11:123-344 will be revealed. You may want to check detail about 0-based v.s. 1-based above.On MolecularSequence.variant:

referenceseqid-window-coordinatecompositeSearch parameter by reference sequence and window. This will refer to part of a locus or part of a gene where search region will be represented in 1-based system. Since the coordinateSystem can either be 0-based or 1-based, this search query will include the result of both coordinateSystem that contains the equivalent segment of the gene or whole genome sequence. For example, a search for sequence can be represented as `referenceSeqId-window-coordinate=NC_000001.11$lt345$gt123`, this means it will search for the MolecularSequence resource with a window on NC_000001.11 and with position >123 and <345, where in 1-based system resource, all strings within region NC_000001.11:124-344 will be revealed, while in 0-based system resource, all strings within region NC_000001.11:123-344 will be revealed.
