Clinical Genomics Resource Incubator
0.1.0-ci-build - CI Build International flag

Clinical Genomics Resource Incubator, published by HL7 International / Clinical Genomics. This guide is not an authorized publication; it is the continuous build for version 0.1.0-ci-build built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) CI Build. This version is based on the current content of https://github.com/HL7/cg-incubator/ and changes regularly. See the Directory of published versions

ValueSet: Molecular Definition Type (Experimental)

Official URL: http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/cg-incubator/ValueSet/moleculardefinition-type Version: 0.1.0-ci-build
Standards status: Informative Draft as of 2026-03-13 Maturity Level: 0 Computable Name: MolecularDefinitionType
Other Identifiers: OID:2.16.840.1.113883.4.642.3.3002

Domain-semantic subtype classifications for a MolecularDefinition resource instance, providing greater specificity than the moleculeType element. For example, an instance with moleculeType 'rna' may have a type of 'mrna' or 'mirna'. This ValueSet is an enumerated, curated set of locally-defined codes covering clinically relevant DNA and RNA subtypes. The binding is extensible: implementers may use codes from other systems when no suitable code exists in this set.
