Bionano announces study results in support of establishing OGM as SOC

Bionano Genomics announced a peer-reviewed publication detailing results from the second phase of a large multisite clinical study designed to support establishing optical genome mapping OGM as part of the standard of care SOC in diagnosis of genetic disease for postnatal patients. The clinical study is designed to compare OGM to current SOC techniques, including concordance, reproducibility, technical success rate and the rate of detecting reportable findings in cases. The published first phase of this multisite study demonstrated OGM’s technical performance and reproducibility across sites versus SOC analysis. This second phase extended the study to include additional samples to further assess the technical performance and clinical utility of OGM for postnatal constitutional disorders and to evaluate OGM in prospective samples and in samples from subjects with neurodevelopmental disorders, including developmental delay, intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder ASD .
