Should ICD-10-CM Feature Codes for Every Genetic Condition?

It may become common practice to identify genetic abnormalities prior to the development of manifestations.

 

The March 2023 ICD-10-CM Coordination and Maintenance Committee Meeting presented me with a dilemma (Topic packet March 8, 2023 ICD-10-CM Coord & Maint Cmte Meeting). Now that we have the technology to unravel the genetic basis for conditions, are we obligated to create unique codes for each variant?
