# Genomic Study Method Type

- **Official URL**: http://hl7.org/fhir/genomicstudy-methodtype
- **Version**: 6.0.0
- **Status**: draft
- **Name**: GenomicStudyMethodType
- **Title**: Genomic Study Method Type
- **Publisher**: HL7 (FHIR Project)
- **Description**: The method type of the GenomicStudy analysis. These method types and relevant codes were pulled from [National Library of Medicine-Genetic Testing Registry](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gtr/) (NCBI-GTR) values of describing different testing methods on various levels: [major method category](https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/GTR/standard_terms/Major_method_category.txt), [method category](https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/GTR/standard_terms/Method_category.txt), and [primary methodology](https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/GTR/standard_terms/Primary_test_methodology.txt)
