Range(s) of DNA sequence examined

DNA region of interest NumRange

Definition

This term is used to report the region(s) of interest for sequencing studies as one or more numeric ranges that identify the parts of the reference sequence that are sequenced. These can be recorded as one or more HL7 numeric ranges using repeat delimiters to seperate multiple such ranges. They can also be recorded singly, one per OBX, using OBX-4 to distinguish these repeats with the same Observation ID. However, such detailed specification of the sequencing region of interest is rare, in part because this information is often proprietary, and the region of interest is reported as a text description instead, e.g., "Sequenced all of the coding, and appropriate flanking regions," using [LOINC: 81293-3].
