A sequence variant is a data structure that represents elements with partial order, and it can be regarded as a sequence with branches. The comparison of sequence variants is an important problem in practical applications. To conduct comparisons, it is necessary to detect the common and uncommon parts of sequence variants, but a suitable method is not available. In this study, we developed a method for comparing sequence variants by providing appropriate definitions and algorithms. The longest common subsequence variant is defined based on the longest common subsequence and a merged sequence variant is proposed for comparison. We also propose algorithms for calculating these sequence variants. As an example, we applied the methods to real data from electronic medical records (EMRs) to determine the diversity of the treatment patterns in different hospitals, before presenting the results to medical workers to help them recognize the differences and improve their medical actions. Frequent treatment patterns were extracted from a real treatment order database of EMRs by using sequential pattern mining, and the differences in the treatment patterns were calculated and visualized as longest common subsequence variants and merged sequence variants.
