This code system http://hl7.org/fhir/genomicstudy-type defines the following codes:
CodeDisplayDefinitionCopy
alt-splc Alternative splicing detection Identification of multiple different processed mRNA transcripts from the same DNA template btnbtn
chromatin Chromatin conformation Analysis of the spacial organization of chromatin within a cell btnbtn
cnv CNV detection Detection of a change in the number of copies of a defined region of genomic DNA sequence resulting in structural variation when compared to the reference sequence btnbtn
epi-alt-hist Epigenetic Alterations - histone modifications Detection of biochemical modifications covalently bound to the N-terminal tail of a histone protein. These modifications may alter chromatin compaction and gene expression btnbtn
epi-alt-dna Epigenetic Alterations -DNA methylation Detection of the presence of an additional methyl group on a DNA nucleobase, which may alter gene transcription btnbtn
fam-var-segr Familial variant segregation Determining if a variant identified in an individual is present in other family members btnbtn
func-var Functional variation detection Detection of sequence variants which may alter gene expression or gene product function when compared to the reference sequence btnbtn
gene-expression Gene expression profiling Measurement and characterization of activity from all gene products btnbtn
post-trans-mod Post-translational Modification Identification Detection of biochemical modifications covalently bound to the amino acid monomers of a processed protein btnbtn
snp SNP Detection Determination of which nucleotide is base present at a known variable location of the genomic sequence btnbtn
str STR count Quantification of the number of sequential microsatellite units in a repetitive sequence region btnbtn
struc-var Structural variation detection Detection of deletions, insertions, or rearrangements of DNA segments compared to the reference sequence btnbtn
Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:
Level A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. See Code System for further information.
Source The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)
Code The code (used as the code in the resource instance). If the code is in italics, this indicates that the code is not selectable ('Abstract')
Display The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application
