November 30, 2010

Agenda

• Open Discussion - Next Generation Pedigree Model and View (Allen Hobbs)
• Topics (Amnon: the following topics are just brain storming on what's next for the Pedigree spec)
  • Reconstructing a pedigree on the fly
    • Consent management
    • Keeping the results of previous pedigrees and its additional info like curation, risk assessment results
  • Dynamic proband (remodeling)
  • Utilizing the latest Clinical Statement
  • Reconstruction by linking existing pedigrees (e.g., father and mother pedigrees of a proband)
    • These pedigrees will represent data that the person is willing to share (consent is provided upfront but is still a challenge in this approach)
  • Could we accommodate all types of data?
    • e.g., "Strong history on paternal side for colon cancer"
    • See the JAMIA paper "Evaluation of family history information within clinical documents and adequacy of HL7 clinical statement and clinical genomics family history models for its representation: a case report"
  • Pedigree-based risk assessment in a CDA GTR (Genetic Testing Report)?
    • Is 'risk assessment 'genetic testing' or interpretation of clinical and genetic data?
  • Changes following comments from the ISO ballots
  • Technical approaches to developing a cannoical Pedigre(Scott)
  • Developing light Pedigree schemas so that compliant instances are also compliant with the full-blown schemas
