  • Tumor profiling

Attendees

  • Amnon Shabo - IBM
  • Mollie Ullman-Cullere – Dana Farber & Partners
  • Clyde Ulmer – FDA
  • Daryl Thomas – Life Technologies
  • Don Rule – Translational Software
  • Grant Wood - Intermountain Healthcare
  • Mukesh Sharma - WUSTL

Draft Minutes

  • Decision on how to proceed on the GTR – Amnon presented three options including i) proceed to Draft Standard for Trial Use (DSTU), ii) proceed for comments only, or iii) withdraw. The consensus was that we would like to move the specification forward and encourage further feedback but there is not enough time to obtain feedback and resolve outstanding issues. It was agreed to proceed for comments only with the document modified to clarify that it is not finalized, and to focus reviewers on specific parts of the document for which we need specific input.
  • Motion to approve minutes passed with one minor update
  • Review of modifications to Version 2 Implementation Guide to address tumor profiling including
    • Incorporation of large genetic profiling result sets that do not include interpretation
    • Inclusion of OMIM and COSMIC identifiers to provide further information about genetic mutations
    • Linking references to PubMed, PharmGKB, or ClinicalTrials.gov
    • Providing and Overall Interpretation for the results of a genetic test
    • Updates to the LOINC answer lists based upon experience using the existing specification
    • Extensions to the Genomic Source Class that are motivated by Tumor Profiling (e.g. a mutation may be labeled “likely somatic” if it is unlikely to be a germline mutation but no confirmatory test has been done)
    • Addition of a Genetic Knowledge Reference Type
    • Definitions for Genetic Testing Kits and Genetic Tests that include the registry where the test is defined and data from the manufacturer of the test. The genetic test definition includes the region of the genome that is covered by the test
  • Agreed that next week (7/26) we will complete discussion about updates to the V2 Implementation Guide and then Grant will begin the discussion of…

July 12, 2011

Agenda

  • GTR ballot

Attendees

  • Amnon Shabo - IBM
  • Mollie Ullman-Cullere – Dana Farber & Partners
  • Clyde Ulmer – FDA
  • Daryl Thomas – Life Technologies
  • Don Rule – Translational Software

Draft Minutes

  • A large part of the discussion was about what to ballot in September.
  • There are mixed feelings about the Genetic Test Results (GTR) specification - on one hand it would be good to provide some guidance to the people that are actively developing solutions for exchanging genetic test results, on the other there is a concern that there has not been sufficient engagement on the clinical side to give it the rigor that is required, particularly for a clinical specification.
  • Of particular concern is LOINC coding. The issue is that the coding affects the entire ecosystem including lab, physician, genetic counselor, and especially decision support systems. Further work needs to be done on the GTR so that it will work for clinical workflows. For instance, coded message structure should model practice standards for clinical reporting of genetics, if scope includes the clinical reporting.
  • In addition concern was raised regarding ballot level of the current GTR document. The document is targeted at DSTU ballot level (as indicated in its project scope statement) but the final ballot level in each cycle is voted by the group prior to the submission deadline and the ballot level is corrected accordingly. It is important to note that the GTR passed DSTU ballot and in these cycles, with negatives which are still being addressed. we are reconciling negative comments and refining its structure and supplemental samples. Therefore, it is not yet in final DSTU status.
  • There is a concern that some topics take unexpectedly long in working group discussions and that as a result we don’t get to all topics that are important (e.g. tumor profiling). A number of suggestions were made:
    • Create parallel tracks that will discuss sub-topics and then coalesce into periodic meetings of the full working group
    • Spend some time in each meeting discussing the logistics of the working group to strategize and prioritize the discussion
    • Create a summarized communication channel so that all members do not have to attend all meetings
    • It was decided that next week’s meeting (7/19) will include a brief prioritization session and a full discussion of the Tumor Profiling work

July 5, 2011

Agenda

  • GTR ballot

Attendees

  • Phil Pochon, Grant Wood, Amnon Shabo, Mollie Ullman, Clyde Ulmer

Draft Minutes

  • Discussed GTR harmonization with recommendations in the litrature.

June 28, 2011

Agenda

  • GTR ballot: section codes and vocab binding
  • Review of Mollie's ballot comments

Attendees

  • Phil Pochon, Don Rule, Scott Bolte, Grant Wood, Daryl Thomas, Amnon Shabo, Mollie Ullman, Dr. Christopher Burrow

Draft Minutes

  • BALLOT COMMENTS submitted by Mollie Ullman on the GTR
    • The importance of this guide to emerging standard for transmission and EHR documentation warrant the need to perform a GAP analysis, between recommended standards for report formatting (published in literature) and format of the GTR, and make revision accordingly. This analysis should be documented within the guide and references provided to the reader/implementer.
    • Many systems will likely need to receive a mixture of messages; therefore, a GAP analysis between codes used in the v2 guides and GTR and make revisions accordingly. This analysis should be documented within the guide. Not all messages need to look exactly alike, but the elements do need to logically come together for patient care and discovery research. - Should change specific laboratories (e.g. HPCGG) to generic laboratories, if not a lab generated sample message.
    • Should change mutations used in DCM example to pathogenic and benign mutations of the same gene listed in dbSNP and thereby change the internal lab mutation identifier to an external standard. (Note the internal identifier can be retained if generalized).
    • Review of message is a bit difficult. Harmonization with recommended genetic report format may help; however, analysis should be preformed to ensure both narrative and machine readable logic is completely captured in each section.
  • Discussion of GTR organization following published recommendations on the formatting of genetic test reports. General consensus of the group was to create a table capturing recommended formats from each of the three references with CTR in a fourth column.
  • Dr. Burrow emphasized the importance of using current published clinical recommendations, for formatting genetic test reports. In addition, discussion/analysis of how the GTR incorporates the Analytic Result vs. Clinical Interpretation (of the result) should be done.
