  THERAPEUTIC:
    text: THERAPEUTIC

      processes, complications, or symptoms. These actions may link to pathophysiology
      nodes or phenotypes through target_mechanisms or target_phenotypes.

    title: Therapeutic Procedure
  DIAGNOSTIC:
    text: DIAGNOSTIC
    description: A diagnostic procedure or testing action used to establish or refine

      or reproductive planning actions. Use this broad category for genetic counseling
      and related informational interventions. These actions should not use target_mechanisms
      or target_phenotypes because they do not directly modify disease pathophysiology
      or phenotypes.
