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.

| 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 |
