Key facts

Genetic diseases history panel Family member HL7.VMR-CDS
Genetic diseases history panel
This panel is a subset of the Virtual Medical Record for Clinical Decision Support panel [LOINC74028-2]. It contains elements of the disease of interest, whether or not it is present and/or the cause of death in a family member, the family member's estimated age, and the genetic loci (gene identifier) of interest. This panel was created for, but not limited in use to, the Clinical Genomic Choice section in the HL7 v2 Implementation Guide for Virtual Medical Record (VMR). Note that VMR guide is different from the US Surgeon General family health portrait [LOINC: 54127-6], which is a public tool for users to document and share their family health history information.
