摘要

The German National Strategy for Genomic Medicine (genomDE) aims to integrate genome sequencing into standard healthcare. However, integrating genomics data from research and healthcare remains challenging. This study analyzed how the genomDE dataset could be mapped to international standards: the Genomics Reporting Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources® (FHIR®) Implementation Guide (IG) 2.0.0, the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH)’s Phenopacket Schema, and the German national molecular genomics report IG of the Medical Informatics Initiative (MII). Sample FHIR® bundles and necessary search queries were created and validated. Most dataset elements could be represented using existing FHIR profiles, while unmapped elements were addressed through profiling and extensions. The study highlights that the genomDE dataset can largely be mapped to existing international standards, with the potential to extend these standards to accommodate missing elements, thereby improving genomic data interoperability in healthcare.
