Persuasive – add LOINC code

The function of component and extension is different, observation.component element will be used for knowledge-based interpretations of the sequence variant, and extension is used to provide genetics information.

We will add missed LOINC code for the extensions.

Some of the extensions don't have the LOINC code thus they would not include the LOINC code link in the description box.

Comment:

This section lists a set of variables that look like they were taken directly from the V2 genetics reporting specification, and that is good, but they do not show the associated LOINC codes. They are extensions to the observation, I think. They could all be component observations and then would line up closely with the HL7 V2 Coded Clinical Genomics lite. But not clear again how sequence connects to the observations or vice versa.

Summary:

LOINC codes for genetics reporting
