Hi, I'd would love to see support for genetics and pharmacogenetics in the healthcare schema. For example, there is no way to even provide metadata for genetics-based dosing guidelines in MedicalGuideline right now. An example of such a guideline can be found here: https://www.pharmgkb.org/guideline/PA166104997 I would like to propose the addition of these types:

• MedicalEntity
  • GeneticSequence
  • Gene
  • Genome
  • Variant
  • VariantCollection
    • Diplotype
    • Haplotype
    • Genotype The VariantCollection level is not really necessary, but all it's children contains a collection of Variants. I can go into more detail on exactly what I think these types should be/contain, but wanted to make sure there's consensus on the types that should be added. Thanks, -Mark woon

+1 However it's hard here to review or comment. Should help if we have a full .rdfa file (or .ttl) of this so we can review the full model (hierarchy, subClassOf, range/domain, etc). This may help also to integrate it to the existing extension.

@twamarc: can this be communicated as a guide to everyone wishing to add some stuffs to the #healthSchemaOrg extension proposal?

Sure! I will set this on list of requirements. @markwoon Can you provide a full .rdfa file (or .ttl) from this structure so we can review the full model (hierarchy, subClassOf, range/domain, etc)?
