36908-2
LaboratoryGene mutations tested for in Blood or Tissue by Molecular genetics method Nominal
Definition
For targeted mutation analysis, report the discrete mutations the study is designed to detect. In HL7 V2 they can be reported in one observation as a list separated by repeat delimiters OR as a series of separate OBX segments, one per mutation tested for. In FHIR, multiple coded entries can not be reported as a list in one observation value field. They must be reported as the values of separate observations.
