Brief Summary:
The purpose of this research use only (RUO) study is to detect genomic structural variants (SVs) in human DNA by Optical Genome Mapping (OGM) using the Bionano Genomics Saphyr system. SVs are a type of genetic alternation that includes deletions, duplications, and both balanced and unbalanced rearrangements (ex: inversions or translocations), as well as specific repeat expansions and contractions. The results of OGM analysis will be compared to prior clinical genetic test results to determine how OGM compares to current standard of care (SOC) clinical test methods such as chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA), karyotyping, Southern blot analysis, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and/or next generation sequencing (NGS), etc.

Detailed Description:

Optical genome mapping (OGM) is an emerging next-generation cytogenomic tool that enables a comprehensive analysis of structural variants (SVs) in the genome. OGM, in its current iteration, is performed on the Saphyr system, which is developed and marketed by Bionano Genomics (San Diego, CA). OGM employs imaging of ultra-long DNA molecules (>150 kbp) that are labeled at a unique 6 base-pair sequence motif (CTTAAG) that occurs throughout the genome. The images of the labeled DNA molecules are used to generate a de novo assembly that can be compared to a reference genome to identify all classes of SVs, such as deletions, duplications, balanced/ unbalanced genomic rearrangements (insertions, inversions, and translocations), and repeat array expansions/contractions). In addition, a separate coverage-based algorithm enables the detection of genome-wide copy number analysis (similar to CMA), and the absence of heterozygosity (AOH) analysis. In the same assay, a concurrent or stepwise data analysis pipeline allows for sizing pathogenic CGG repeat expansions (consistent with fragile X syndrome) as well as D4Z4 repeat contractions which are consistent with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy type 1 (FSHD1). Recently, in several studies, OGM has demonstrated excellent concordance with standard-of-care testing. Importantly, the OGM workflow can provide results within three-five days.

The aim of this double-blinded, multi-site, retrospective, observational, Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved study is to evaluate the concordance of structural variant detection by OGM compared to standard of care tests (such as CMA, karyotyping, Southern blot analysis, PCR, FISH, and/or NGS, etc.), in a large cohort containing a variety of SVs including aneuploidies, intragenic and contiguous deletions, duplications, balanced and unbalanced translocations, inversions, isochromosomes, ring chromosomes, repeat expansions, repeat contractions, and more. This study is also designed to assess the sensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility of OGM analysis conducted at multiple sites, by numerous operators, and on different Saphyr instruments. Consensus testing and interpretation protocols were developed and implemented at all sites.

Estimated Enrollment : 1000 participants
Observational Model: Cohort
Time Perspective: Retrospective
Official Title: Validation of Optical Genome Mapping for the Identification of Constitutional Genomic Variants in a Postnatal Cohort

Estimated Primary Completion Date : March 31, 2024
Estimated Study Completion Date : June 30, 2024


Group/Cohort Intervention/treatment
Standard of care genetic testing group
Individuals with genomic test results from a standard of care (SOC) test (such as CMA, karyotyping, Southern blot analysis, PCR, FISH, and/or NGS, etc.) will be enrolled in the study to compare the SOC result to results from optical genome mapping.
Other: Standard of care genetic testing group
N/A - no intervention as this is an observational study.




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Sensitivity/Concordance and specificity of OGM with standard of care testing for detection of structural variants. [ Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year ]
    OGM results are evaluated against the standard of care test and concordance (sensitivity and specificity) will be determined.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Reproducibility and identification of structural variants beyond the limit of detection of standard of care methods. [ Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year ]
    Inter-site as well as inter and intra-run variability of OGM will be assessed by reproducibility studies.


Biospecimen Retention:   Samples With DNA
Whole blood or banked lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) will be sent to Bionano Genomics for sample blinding. Specimens are aliquoted, banked, and stored frozen. The specimens will be used for OGM testing or follow up testing using standard of care test methods, as needed and determined by the study protocol.
