International Consortium for Optical Genome Mapping Publishes Expert Recommendations for Integration of OGM as a Standard-of-Care Cytogenetic Assay for Diagnostic Workflows in Blood Cancers
SAN DIEGO, May 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bionano Laboratories, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bionano Genomics, Inc. (Nasdaq: BNGO) that offers CLIA-certified laboratory developed tests (LDTs) based on optical genome mapping (OGM), today announced the publication in the American Journal of Hematology of expert recommendations from the International Consortium for Optical Genome Mapping (ICOGM) for the integration of OGM as a standard-of-care (SOC) cytogenetic assay for diagnostic workflows in v

Based on the assessment, the ICOGM developed a set of expert recommendations for OGM (A) as a first-line test in place of karyotyping, fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) and chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) in some clinical settings; or (B) as an alternative to the traditional methods in other clinical settings when these traditional methods are insufficient.","length":885,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"Summary of Key Recommendations for Clinical Use of OGM:","length":55,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"A.
