The code attribute should identify the type (or class) of genetic testing at stake, preferably drawn from a published classification / terminology, e.g., "Hereditary Hearing Loss and Deafness" where the value attribute can hold a code representing the test titled "Connexin 26 Full Gene Test", preferably drawn from a published catalog.
The value attribute should be aligned with the semantics of the code assigned to the code attribute, e.g., if code = "Hereditary Hearing Loss and Deafness" then the value attribute can hold a code representing the test titled "Connexin 26 Full Gene Test", preferably drawn from a published catalog.
