Dear Sir/Madam,

 

In accordance with the mandate of Plattform § 65c, an association representing national German clinical cancer registries, we formally approach you on the following matter:

 

Clinical cancer registries in Germany are legally obligated to comprehensively document disease trajectories of tumor patients within their respective jurisdictions. The collected data is made available to medical practitioners and for research purposes. Clinical cancer registries operate strictly as non-proft entities, entirely devoid of any commercial interests.

 

The Plattform issues directives to cancer registries for the standardized documentation of cases. As part of these directives, a finalized list of genetic markers slated for documentation has been established. The proposal recommends the utilization of HGNC Nomenclature (HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee) and HGVS Nomenclature (Human Genome Variation Society Nomenclature) in a universally simplified modified documentation format. In light of this, we formally request your consent to utilize your nomenclature and we kindly ask for the granting of this usage without any associated charges. Additionally, we seek clarification on any mandatory labeling requirements associated with its use.

 

We appreciate your prompt attention to this matter.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Laura Jentsch

Dear Laura,

the recommendations for the description of sequence variants, the so called "HGVS nomenclature", can be used freely. It should be noted however that the HGVS nomenclature is versioned, so when people refer to the HGVS nomenclature they should also mention the version used. The current version number of the nomenclature, listed top right (https://hgvs-nomenclature.org/versions/), is "version 21.0.2".

Best regards,

Johan den Dunnen
