February 15, 2011
Agenda
- Canonical Pedigree Project discussion
- Answer questions from new participants.
- Expand list of sample structural pedigrees -- the pedigrees that represent different family structures
- Expand list of sample clinical pedigrees -- matched pairs of pedigrees that illustrate gain or loss of predictive power based on clinical observations (e.g. age of onset of disease). See Clinical Power for an oncology example.
- Review list of desired technical capabilities (e.g. validate pedigree message, normalize XML, basic message equivalence testing, etc.)
- Note - GTR will be discussed on the Feb 22 call
Attendees
- Clyde Ulmer (US Food and Drug Administration)
- Don Rule (Translational Software)
- Michael Miller (Institute for Systems Biology)
- Mollie Ullman (Dana-Farber Cancer Institute)
- Scott Bolte (GE Healthcare) -- canonical pedigree project leader
- Vaughn Edelson (Genetic Alliance)
Draft Minutes
The entire call was dedicated to the introduction of the canonical pedigree project's outline for the implementation guide (see image below).
- General feedback on the draft IG outline:
- Don: wants the CPP IG to include a high level list of message elements, relationships, and glossary.
- Mollie: likes breast cancer as an example, but thinks it is too simple in the genetics and phenotypic paradigm. Wants to make sure a more complex disease, cardiomyopathy for example, is included. Treating that disease can entail a family history that spans four or five generations. (See Use of genetics in the clinical evaluation of cardiomyopathy. by DP Judge in JAMA.)
- Clyde: provided personal feedback that clinicians, for example an internal medicine doc that he knows well, stress it needs to be kept simple. Scott responded that there needs to be a clear separation where patients may enter the bulk of their information on their own so clinicians only need to clarify and confirm the most relevant elements.
- Alternate representations
- Question: Is the project intended to deal with native representation of family history in alternate formats (e.g. CCD) or just as embedded payloads? Answer: validating full fidelity, or loss of information, before & after encoding in alternate representations is definitely in scope.
- Australia is encoding family history in V2. Talk to Andrew McIntyre (Medical Objects) for additional details.
- XML:
- Don: expressed frustration that the high-level HL7 tools make it difficult to validate and manipulate XML documents. Would like the option of working purely with XSD (XML schema definitions).
- Michael: shared that work with MAGE and FuGE exposed the hazard of ambiguity as to where and how data is stored in an XML document. That led to implementation ambiguities.
- Project communications:
- Mollie reiterated that delivery of HL7 distribution lists experience significant delays for some readers. She suggested that active individuals be listed on the To line of messages to ensure prompt delivery.
- Scott proposed the convention that the subject line for project related mail start with CPP.
