      The review is correct, this LOINC code is not correct for variants found by sequencing (i.e., not targeted method to find a specific variant).

      Will work with CGWG to find a suitable code.

      Proposed resolution: Persuasive.

      Comment:

      The LOINC code 69548-6 as the identifying/defining code for this profile is incorrect. This is a test "to assess the presence of a known set of DNA variants was present or absent". It has a value of "present", "absent", "no call", or "indeterminate". Note: "no-call" is really a data absent reason but is listed as one of the LOINC answers.
