Area of Science:

Genomics
Cytogenetics
Molecular Diagnostics

Background:

Chromosome analysis (CA) and chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) are standard diagnostic tools for genetic disorders.
Limitations in resolution (CA) and detection of only unbalanced events (CMA) leave many genetic conditions undiagnosed.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the concordance and diagnostic utility of Optical Genome Mapping (OGM) for detecting structural variants (SVs).
To compare OGM's performance against established cytogenomic methods like CA, CMA, and Southern blot.

Main Methods:

OGM was used to analyze 87 previously identified structural variants (SVs).
Concordance was assessed against results from chromosome analysis (CA), chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA), and Southern blot.
OGM's ability to diagnose previously unsolved genetic cases was investigated.

Main Results:

OGM demonstrated 98% concordance with existing cytogenomic methods.
Three discordant cases involved breakpoints in centromeric or pseudoautosomal regions.
OGM successfully diagnosed three previously undiagnosed cases involving gene disruptions (SON, NBEA, TSC2).

Conclusions:

OGM is a powerful, single-assay method for detecting diverse structural variants (SVs), including balanced rearrangements.
OGM shows high concordance with traditional cytogenomic techniques.
OGM has limitations in detecting SVs within centromeric and pseudoautosomal regions.
