Detailed Descriptions for the elements in the extension.

Extension
Element IdExtension
Definition

A region (or regions) that includes all of the sequence elements necessary to encode a functional transcript. A gene may include regulatory regions, transcribed regions and/or other functional sequence regions (SO:0000704). This element is the official gene symbol approved by the HGNC, which is a short abbreviated form of the gene name (HGNC). LOINC Code: (48018-6).

Cardinality0..1 This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1
Comments

Other systems or genes not defined in HGNC (e.g., BCR-ABL fusion gene) can be added by using a local extension.

Extension.id
Element IdExtension.id
Definition

Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.

SlicingThis element introduces a set of slices. The slicing rules are:
  • unordered
  • Open
  • discriminators: value:url
Extension.url
Element IdExtension.url
Definition

Source of the definition for the extension code - a logical name or a URL.

Cardinality1..1
Typeuri
Comments

The definition may point directly to a computable or human-readable definition of the extensibility codes, or it may be a logical URI as declared in some other specification. The definition SHALL be a URI for the Structure Definition defining the extension.
