HL7 Clinical Genomics Weekly Call - Oct 24, 2023 11:00 AM (US Eastern)

HL7 Antitrust Policy

Professional Associations, such as HL7, which bring together competing entities are subject to strict scrutiny under applicable antitrust laws. HL7 recognizes that the antitrust laws were enacted to promote fairness in competition and, as such, supports laws against monopoly and restraints of trade and their enforcement. Each individual participating in HL7 meetings and conferences, regardless of venue, is responsible for knowing the contents of and adhering to the HL7 Antitrust Policy as stated in §05.01 of the Governance and Operations Manual (GOM).

Subgroup reports


Topic 0: Approval of Minutes from Last Meeting

"You have received the minutes. Are there any corrections to the minutes? (pause) Hearing none, if there are no objections, the minutes are approved"

  • Minutes are approved



Topic 1: GenomicStudy backport R4

https://build.fhir.org/ig/HL7/genomics-reporting/branches/pw-genomic-study-backport/StructureDefinition-genomic-study.html

Topic 2: Somatic Reporting Update (Srikar)

https://build.fhir.org/ig/HL7/genomics-reporting/branches/somaticExample/somatics.html

ExampleBundle was created, variants, implications are done, biomarker & metadata is missing. Srikar startet the textual guidance.

The “synthetic” example report was created from parts of several reports.

Volunteers are welcome! Ask Srikar or Bob D for the raw documents.

https://github.com/HL7/genomics-reporting/compare/master...somaticExample 

Patrick will check if R4 backport branch contains all commits regarding the backport (against the somatic branch)

Topic 3: Connectathon Track


Draft of Connectathon: 

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1A4Uf5wcIr1OvOc62m3guvMjZZKtPo6tr4a_xILjTwYg/edit#heading=h.sw7c803rr3xf

Current status of the document is inconsistent by mistake, and will be fixed soon.

  • Bob D & May met to discuss the track proposal
  • Track proposal is due in 2 weeks
  • BobD: track for creating GenomicStudies (backport R4 & R5) and consume them to pull link from VCF file, and load the VCF to the GACS
    • Participants will create GenomicStudy Instances & VCF Files to be processed by the operation implementers
    • Potential use-case: combine GenomicReports & VCF Files, explore Operations vs REST-Search
    • Explore where the VCF file is attached (GenomicStudy vs. Observation.extension)
    • R5: GenomicStudy only (&VCF file) as our IG is currently R4 only

Jira for change requests

External efforts (updates welcome)

  • GenomeX/CodeX Accelerator (hosted through CodeX) (Arthur Hermann)
  • GA4GH (Global Alliance for Genomics and Health)
  • ClinGen/ClinVar (Larry Babb)
    • Data Exchange/Platform WG, major driver project of GA4GH GKS
    • will discuss further when Larry in on a call
  • ONC Sync for Genes (Bob Freimuth)
  • ISO TC/215 Genomics Subcommittee (Liz, Clem, Bob F)
    • Canada is sponsoring a phenopackets spec in ISO, will be based on the GA4GH spec that was approved fall 2019
      • The technical experts group just convened to work on this (mid Aug)
      • Since Phenopackets is implementing the GA4GH VR spec, which we are attempting to keep aligned with the CG IM, this work will be of interest to the CG WG
    • Arthur to review for other standards that might overlap with CG
    • Bob M / Bob F: Liaison through HL7
    • Cannot share documents, but we can talk about them
  • mCODE (May Terry)
    • mCODE STU3 passed ballot approval. Currently in reconciliation with publication ETA in Sept 2023.
