genetics, the genome is the genetic material of an organism. It is encoded either in DNA or, for RNA viruses, in RNA. The genome includes both the genes and the non-coding sequences of the DNA/RNA.[Wikipedia] Phenome A phenome is the set of all phenotypes expressed by a cell, tissue, organ, organism, or species.[Wikipedia] Malignant genome The genetic material of a malignant population of cells (cancer) within a host Anaplastic lymphoma Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) also known as ALK tyrosine kinase receptor or CD246 (cluster of kinase (ALK tyrosine differentiation 246) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ALK gene.[Wikipedia] kinase) Oncogene A gene that has the potential to cause cancer. In tumor cells they are often mutated or expressed at high levels (Wikipedia) Examples include BRAF and ALK EML4-ALK fusion An abnormal configuration of DNA wherein the echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4 gene (EML4) gene is fused to the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene. This abnormal gene fusion leads to the production of a protein (EML4-ALK) that appears, in many cases, to promote and maintain the malignant behavior of the lung cancer cells.[Wikipedia] BRAF BRAF is a human gene that makes a protein called B-Raf. The gene is also referred to as protooncogene B-Raf and v-Raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B, while the protein is more formally known as serine/threonine-protein kinase B-Raf.[Wikipedia] BRAF V600E Valine to glutamic acid mutation at position 600 of the BRAF gene demonstrated to be an oncogene for some malignancies and characterizing malignancies sensitive to treatment with Vemurafenib [mycancergenome.org] Personalized An emerging practice of medicine that uses an individual's genetic profile to guide decisions made in medicine regard to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease. [NLM; National Human Genome Research Institute] Tumor suppressor A gene that protects a cell from one step on the path to cancer (Wikipedia) Examples include gene (Antioncogene) BRCA1 and BRCA2 Combined Inception and Elaboration phases Page 5 of 20 2 Introduction 2.1 Purpose The purpose of this project is to consider content model enhancements and or template guidance to be developed in order to properly record diagnostic assessments regarding cancer with specific findings of cancer mutant gene expression. The proffered content request relates to genome of a malignant neoplasm but hereditary cancer predisposition of the patient, including oncogenetic findings of the patient genome overlap the semantic use case. SNOMED CT projects transition from Inception Phase Elaboration Phase Construction Phase Transition Phase. This document combines the documentation of the Inception and Elaboration Phases. The Inception Phase focuses on understanding the problem and its scope, identifying stakeholders and their requirements, and identifying risks. The purpose of the Elaboration Phase is to develop, document and test one (or more) possible technical solutions, and to reach a recommendation and provide a detailed specification of a preferred solution to be taken forward to the construction phase. 2.2 Audience and stakeholder domain 2.2.1 Identification of stakeholders Oncologists, molecular biologists, geneticists, genomic pathologists, cancer genomics researchers; Cancer institutes within member countries; American Cancer Society and similar across members; Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute: Cancer Genome Project; HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee; National Center for Biotechnology Information (Database of Genomic Structural Variation); Directors of molecular genetics labs; lab LOINC committee iPaLM input: 1) Association for Molecular Pathology; 2) College of American Pathologists: Personalized Healthcare Committee, Biomarker Template Committee, Cancer Biomarker Reporting Committee; contacts Alexis Carter and Mary Kennedy; 3) AMIA: Translational Bioinformatics Working Group; 4) American College of Medical Genetics; 5) American Society of Human Genetics; Transplant Medicine- 6) American Society of Histocompatibility in Human Genetics 2.2.2 Input from stakeholders 4/21/2015 Meeting with iPaLM SIG: additional stakeholders identified and initial review of Observable/Observation result model for genotypic/phenotypic observations 2.2.3 Degree of consensus on the statement of problem Combined Inception and Elaboration phases Page 6 of 20 3 Statement of the problem or need 3.1 Summary of problem or need, as reported Two requests for SNOMED CT content for clinical statements: “Non-small cell lung cancer, anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive (disorder)” and “Malignant melanoma with BRAF V600E mutation (disorder)”. Such requests are expected to become increasingly frequent as cancer genomic research matures and the diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic implications of genotypic and phenotypic variants of cancer genomes are studied. This pattern of finding statement is stated as related to 412734009|BRCA1 gene mutation positive (finding)|. (BRCA mutation identifies a patient with a genetic finding of abnormal tumor suppressor function which normally promotes DNA repair and prevent cancer development). Concept model additions or revisions are suggested as likely. 3.2 Summary of requested solution Requests addition of two new concepts of format Malignant neoplasm with <gene mutation in neoplasm> with attention to escalation of requests and similarity to Predisposition to malignant neoplasm due to <gene mutation in patient> 3.3 Statement of problem as understood The index cases presented for the project are of the form Finding = <<363346000|Malignant neoplasm (disorder)| + named expression of gene mutation. This includes a specific genetic sequence or molecular finding regarding the genome or phenome of the malignancy(abnormally mutated morphology) that has been diagnosed in the patient. It may or may not represent a mutation in a premorbid oncogene but is identified presumably for clinical implications of therapeutics. Related examples cited in the request such as 412734009|BRCA1 gene mutation positive (finding)| are statements of findings regarding the genome or phenome of the patient, in this case identifying an abnormal tumor suppressor gene which is associated with lifetime risk of breast and ovarian cancers. This aligns closely with <artf228474> regarding Hereditary predisposition to cancer. These cases would represent genotypic and phenotypic observations regarding the patient who is found as carrier of a proto-oncogene, oncogene or mutation of a tumor suppressor gene. Historically these may be named syndromes but are now increasingly identified as manifestations of specific and sometimes named genetic findings. 3.4 Detailed analysis of reported problem, including background The international release contains fewer than 100 findings of genetic mutations involving the patient, mostly as named syndromes but a dozen or two with non-specific named gene mutations. I can identify no findings of genetic or phenotypic observations on neoplastic morphology. Molecular biology and molecular genetics laboratory procedures number fewer than 100 with one or two dozen procedures assessing named mutations. In the substance hierarchy I find fewer than 50 named molecular biology proteins or receptors. Combined Inception and Elaboration phases Page 7 of 20 In contrast to SNOMED findings and substances, a review of the census of cancer related genetic abnormalities from Sanger showed 141,212 discrete mutations documented in over 500,000 tumors in April 2015. In short, the number of unique genetic or phenotypic findings for cancer morphology is very large and growing with an increasing fraction characterized as clinically significant. There is little current content in SNOMED CT addressing these findings. There is substantial overlap with the LOINC harmonization efforts in progress and development of the observables/laboratory procedure concept model since the content reflects specific genotypic or phenotypic observations from molecular genetics and related laboratory disciplines. 3.5 Subsidiary and interrelated problems Reviewing laboratory LOINC version 2.50 currently undergoing harmonization with SNOMED CT observables, I find 900+ named or identified genetic mutation observables and 1500+ phenotypical molecular pathology observables. Observables and Investigation procedure redesign (artf6283) is an IHTSDO project with direct relationship to this request since design of the ‘Observation result’ will necessarily guide the full definition of the content proposed for addition Combined Inception and Elaboration phases Page 8 of 20 4 Risks / Benefits 4.1.1 Risks of not addressing the problem With completion of the Human Genome project and rapidly diminishing costs of genomic analysis, personalized medicine has been declared a national imperative in the US as it is receiving increased attention around the world. The EHR will increasingly require the recording of detailed genetic findings for treatment of cancer, infectious disease, to quantitate and manage patient risk and more. If SNOMED CT does not meet the challenge of expanding the concept model to record and fully define these findings and support clinically relevant query and decision support use cases, it will fail in its mission. 4.1.2 Risks of addressing the problem The science in this area is rapidly developing new knowledge although classifications of genetic findings is becoming more mature given a decade of work since the human genome was finally sequenced. The science is evolving from named clinical syndromes through phenotypic testing for diagnosis and treatment toward direct observation of genomic and phenomic data for making diagnoses (cancer and infectious disease) and guiding treatment (personalized medicine). Risks to SNOMED CT concept model development to support these genomic/phenomic testing innovations would arise primarily from not effectively dialoguing with the research and clinical community and harmonizing the concept model with the appropriate employment of reference classifications and ontologies. This raises the issue of identifying emerging standard ontologies and terminologies relevant to this domain and creating useful and appropriate harmonization activity where important collaborations are identified. Combined Inception and Elaboration phases Page 9 of 20 5 Requirements: criteria for success and completion 5.1 Criteria for success/completion 5.1.1 Develop and achieve customer consensus on template model for recording of genotypic/phenotypic observation results, observables and laboratory procedures. Identify valuesets relevant to template attributes for this domain and any harmonization activities that might apply. 5.1.2 Add, release for comment and publish limited SNOMED CT content to meet existing user requests and sample of LOINC material 5.1.3 Develop specific advice document for the reproducible and useful modeling of future content requests in this domain 5.2 Strategic and/or specific operational use cases Make it easier to use SNOMED CT for priority use cases: in this case clinical and public health data in support of personalized medicine, phenotypic and genotypic clinical findings. Facilitate use of SNOMED CT with other international standards: Laboratory LOINC harmonization activities 5.2.1 Use case 1 Model and deploy content requests as primitive content within observables, observation results and observation procedures as primitive content without full definition. This would lead to content addition of a moderate (1-3K concepts) body of LOINC concepts in this domain without fully specifying defining features of the observables concept model development currently under discussion 5.2.1.1 Fit with IHTSDO strategy This fits with roadmap for harmonization of LOINC content with SNOMED CT but falls short in not deploying a harmonized content model which captures the nuance and detail of molecular genetic testing. 5.2.2 Use case 2 Develop consensus with stakeholder communities regarding the utility and clarity of an observables/observation result/observation procedure template proposal for SNOMED CT recording of laboratory-based genotypic and phenotypic testing of patient and tumor morphologies. Test requested material and a sample of related LOINC observables within the International release. Prepare a guidance package for reproducible development of future SNOMED CT content in this domain. Develop a content deployment roadmap for the remainder of the LOINC material with the Content manager. 5.2.2.1 Fit with IHTSDO strategy This interdigitates with a commitment to LOINC harmonization and proceeds with testing and limited deployment of molecular genetics tests in order to address content requests originating this ticket. It Combined Inception and Elaboration phases Page 10 of 20 further incorporates evaluation and testing of the template and guidance for scaled up inclusion of genetic testing data in SNOMED CT.

Non-small cell lung cancer, anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive (disorder) - Requesting a new disease concept for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that is anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)positive. XALKORI® (crizotinib) was FDA-approved in 2011 for this indication 2. Malignant melanoma with BRAF V600E mutation (disorder) - Requesting a new disease concept for malignant melanoma with BRAF V600E mutation. ZELBORAF® (vemurafenib) was FDA-approved in 2011 for this indication. --Currently SNOMED CT has a small number of similar concepts. These concepts are primitive. BRCA1 gene mutation negative (finding) BRCA2 gene mutation negative (finding) BRCA1 gene mutation positive (finding) BRCA2 gene mutation positive (finding) Non-small cell lung cancer, negative for epidermal growth factor receptor expression (disorder) Non-small cell lung cancer, positive for epidermal growth factor receptor expression (disorder) There is a potential for a large number of similar requests and the concept model is not adequately developed for this content. These requests also relate to the following artifacts: <artf6220 : malignant neoplasm, primary malignant neoplasm Title: malignant neoplasm, primary malignant neoplasm Description: Issue of how to handle existing Malignant neoplasm of X and Primary malignant neoplasm of X content. If default context of Malignant neoplasm of X means Primary malignant neoplasm of X, then these two concepts would be duplicates. Also, if Malignant neoplasm of X means Primary malignant neoplasm of X, then it cannot be supertype of secondary malignant neoplasm of X as is currently the case in SNOMED. There are about 3700 concepts with associated morphology of Malignant neoplasm of primary, secondary, or uncertain origin (morphologic abnormality) or a descendant.> artf7618 : Negation and Context artf6812 : <procedure> result positive artf6813 : <procedure> result negative It is suggested that these two requests be placed on Await policy under artf6812 but that these requests be linked to those artifacts so that the solution proposed to those artifacts also considers this content.> JRC: My review of current content requests identified these possibly related artifacts: <Artf6328: Title: how to model "carrier of X" Combined Inception and Elaboration phases Page 19 of 20 Need text definition of "carrier" and logic model: A carrier of infectious organism may not have an infectious disease. Or they may have an asymptomatic disease. Are all carriers "silent carriers"? (Is everyone with strep pharyngitis also a carrier of strep?) What about genetic carriers? Same or different from heterozygous state of a disease that is homozygous? What about female carriers of X-linked, and those who are homozygous but the disease has incomplete penetrance?> <Artf228474Title: hereditary cancer predisposition syndrome Description: Recent genetic studies have expanded the understanding of the genetic basis of cancer predisposition / susceptibility. A number of syndromes have been identified. For example, Lynch syndrome, formerly called HNPCC, includes multiple different genetic defects that predispose to colorectal and also other cancers. HNPCC (hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer) is an ambiguous code/concept for two reasons: (1) does the code imply that the patient has actual colorectal cancer or just the predisposition conferred by the presence of the inherited genetic defect? and (2) does the code imply presence of colorectal cancer, or might it be one of the other cancers to which the genetic defect predisposes? Similarly for all cancer presdisposing syndromes, we need "hereditary cancer predisposition syndrome" and "hereditary malignancy" (the latter defined as malignancy in a hereditary cancer predisposition syndrome> Inventory of concepts now in the International release 450910000|ALK positive large B-cell lymphoma(body structure)| (primitive) 448212009|Anaplastic large cell lymphoma, ALK negative(disorder)|(primitive) 53237008|Anaplastic large cell lymphoma CD30+(body structure)|(primitive) 441420000|Homozygous prothrombin G202100A mutation(disorder)| 441421001|Heterozygous prothrombin G202100A mutation(disorder)| 440989002|Prothrombin G202100A mutation(disorder)| 421617007|RET proto-oncogene mutation analysis(procedure)| 10.2 References Sanger Institute Cancer Genome Project http://cancer.sanger.ac.uk/cosmic Futreal PA, Coin L, Down T, Hubbard T,Wooster R, Rahman N, Stratton MR.
