      The reviewer suggests inheriting elements from both US Core and Clinical Genomics IG (CG), and also suggests a potential mechanism for doing this.

      As balloted, the mCODE IG inherits from US Core, and implements some parts of CG. The suggestion is to reverse this: inherit from CG, and implement parts of US Core. The underlying context is that the mCODE IG should be consistent with both CG and US Core.

      We agree that mCODE should be aligned with US Core and CG IG, whether or not we use the method suggested by the reviewer.

      Since this issue is very general, and there are specific suggestions in other issues, we propose closing this one, and following up on specific suggestions in other tracker items.

      Comment:

      Elements of US-core are excellent additions to a US centric product. Consider how to create a profile that is profiled from both the CG WG profile and the US Core profile. Easiest maybe to add elements of US-core to CG WG profile. Refer to the FMG on how to create a merged profile. This is an important problem for this group that makes it hard to create an interoperable standard - the CG WG has components which cannot be taken out of the context of the profile they are a part of. The US-core extensions found in US-core observation are defined independently of the observation they are in. That is the US-core extensions should be addable to a profile off of the CG WG profile that contains the necessary components. The extensions are more like independent data elements, whereas the components are not. Please seek guidance from the FMG or technical resources to ensure that the statements are technically accurate. Trying to use both profiles as sources is difficult. I know that you need to reference the US-core Observation profile in your IG but we also need a route to bring the CG IG profile elements into your profiles. I would be happy to help address.
