48018-6

Laboratory

Gene studied [ID]

Definition

HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC) identifier for a gene. List the gene(s) examined in full or in part by the study. If the study addresses multiple genes, these can be recorded in one OBX as a list seperated by repeat delimiters or in mulltiple OBX's with one gene per OBX. The recommended coding system will use the HGNC gene symbol as the display text and HGNC gene ID as the code. For example, 21497^ACAD9^HGNC.
