Comments: The VA-Spec uses value sets to hold the types of relationships that may be described in a particular type of Statement. The core specification itself is domain agnostic, and does not define Codings for any specific types of relationships. When applied to represent a particular type of Statement (via 'Profiling'), implementers can define predicates for the relationships relevant in the domain. For example, in a Statement about the pathogenicity of a variant, the predicate value set might include codings for 'pathogenic for', 'benign for', and 'uncertain significance for' relationships.
