Table 2.

Explanations of genomic test result resource profiles and examples from the test report.

Profile Explanation Example from test report
Observation (obs-overall) Overall Genomic Interpretation: a high-level summary observation of the entire report One copy of the SLCO1B1*5 allele was detected; therefore, decreased transporter function is predicted.
Observation (obs-implication) Genetic Implication: These represent observations about the patient based on the genetic test results. This patient is at increased risk for muscle toxicity related to simvastatin use…(snipped for brevity).
Observation (obs-genotype) Genotype: combinations of genetic variations that together are associated with a particular phenotype *5/Neg *
Observation (obs-variant) Variant: differences between parts of specimen sequences and the equivalent portions of reference sequence(s). c.521T<C
