Table 1. eMERGE Reporting Use Cases.

This table lists all of the eMERGE reporting use cases. The first column is a breakdown of reporting result types and the second column lists more specific outcomes for the corresponding reporting result type. The specialized reporting use cases are specified for the associated eMERGE study sites.

Standard Reporting Use Cases
 Diagnostic Gene Panel
  Reported Variants Single-nucleotide variants (SNVs), Insertions or deletions (InDels), copy number variants (CNVs)
  Medically Significant Findings for Indication Pathogenic, Likely Pathogenic, Uncertain Significance
  Secondary Findings Medically significant findings in a gene unrelated to the indication for testing
  Overall Interpretations Positive, Negative, Inconclusive
 Pharmacogenomic Gene Panel
  PGx Phenotype Findings Efficacy, Metabolism, Transporter Function
  Reported Diplotypes Simple, Complex, Wildtype, Non-Wild Type
Specialized Reporting Use Cases
  LDLR Scores-Polygenic Risk Scores Mayo Clinic, an eMERGE Study Site
  Research Only Reports Columbia University, an eMERGE Study Site
