Optical genome mapping for structural variation analysis in hematologic malignancies

Abstract excerpt

Optical genome mapping (OGM) is a technology that is rapidly being adopted in clinical genetics laboratories for its ability to detect structural variation (e.g., translocations, inversions, deletions, duplications, etc.) and replace several concurrent standard of care techniques (karyotype, fluorescence in situ hybridization, and chromosomal microarray). OGM can dramatically simplify lab workflow by reducing...
