Since genomic imbalances are often found to be causative, CMA is recommended as first tier testing for many indications. Optical genome mapping (OGM) is an emerging next generation cytogenomic technique that can detect not only copy number variants (CNVs), triploidy and absence of heterozygosity (AOH) like CMA, but can also define the location of duplications, and detect other structural variants (SVs), including balanced rearrangements and repeat expansions\/contractions. This study compares OGM to CMA for clinically reported genomic variants, some of these samples also have structural characterization by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). OGM was performed on IRB approved, de-identified specimens from 55 individuals with genomic abnormalities previously identified by CMA (61 clinically reported abnormalities). SVs identified by OGM were filtered by a control database to remove polymorphic variants and against an established gene list to prioritize clinically relevant findings before comparing with CMA and FISH results. OGM results showed 100% concordance with CMA findings for pathogenic variants and 98% concordant for all pathogenic\/likely pathogenic\/variants of uncertain significance (VUS), while also providing additional insight into the genomic structure of abnormalities that CMA was unable to provide. OGM demonstrates equivalent performance to CMA for CNV and AOH detection, enhanced by its ability to determine the structure of the genome. This work adds to an increasing body of evidence on the analytical validity and ability to detect clinically relevant abnormalities identified by CMA. Moreover, OGM identifies translocations, structures of duplications and complex CNVs intractable by CMA, yielding additional clinical utility.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/genes14101868","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,26]],"date-time":"2023-09-26T08:55:01Z","timestamp":1695718501000},"page":"1868","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Comparative Benchmarking of Optical Genome Mapping and Chromosomal Microarray Reveals High Technological Concordance in CNV Identification and Additional Structural Variant Refinement"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0507-2532","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hayk","family":"Barseghyan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Bionano, San Diego, CA 92121, USA"},{"name":"Center for Genetic Medicine Research, Children\u2019s National Hospital, Washington, DC 20010, USA"},{"name":"Genomics and Precision Medicine, School of Medicine and Health Sciences, George Washington University, Washington, DC 20037, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andy Wing Chun","family":"Pang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bionano, San Diego, CA 92121, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Benjamin","family":"Clifford","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bionano, San Diego, CA 92121, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Moises A.","family":"Serrano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bionano Laboratories, Salt Lake City, UT 84109, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0914-9237","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alka","family":"Chaubey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bionano, San Diego, CA 92121, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5829-2649","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alex R.","family":"Hastie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bionano, San Diego, CA 92121, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man, OMIM\u00ae (2022, August 01).
