Genomics Reporting Implementation Guide
3.0.1-SNAPSHOT - Ballot International flag

Genomics Reporting Implementation Guide, published by HL7 International / Clinical Genomics. This guide is not an authorized publication; it is the continuous build for version 3.0.1-SNAPSHOT built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) CI Build. This version is based on the current content of https://github.com/HL7/genomics-reporting/ and changes regularly. See the Directory of published versions

Change Log

Version = 3.0.0 - ballot (January 2024 Ballot)

Summary of updates

  • Introduction of new operations along with extensive implementation guidance and examples. Refer to here for details.
  • Addition of support for GenomicStudy to capture structed, study level metadata. This is back porting a resource introduced in R5 as a set of profiles, code systems, and value sets into this R4 based IG. This includes structured extensions to capture region studied details, and the existing profile was removed. See here for more information.
  • Broadening support for biomarker observations by introducing a new, more generic MolecularBiomarker profile, along with refactoring existing profiles and examples. Explore the new profile here.
  • Improved guidance on the Somatic Reporting page, including a detailed synthetic report and additional example instances. See the new page here.
  • Update in the representation of molecular consequences through the creation of a new Molecular Consequences observation profile that is treated as an Implication. This is a non-passive change, as several Variant(Observation).component and DiagnosticImplication(Observation).component slices were moved to the new profile. See here for the new profile.
  • Support repeat expansions on the Variant profile. See here for guidance on the new slices.
