Bionano Genomics (BNGO) announced a peer-reviewed study validating optical genome mapping (OGM) for noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) results. The research, conducted at Hangzhou Maternity and Child Care Hospital, found OGM effectively identifies complex chromosomal rearrangements (CCR) tied to recurrent pregnancy loss, with 70% of CCR carriers being phenotypically normal. The study demonstrated OGM's capability to reveal significant structural aberrations overlooked by traditional methods, improving prenatal diagnosis and genetic counseling, highlighting its potential for high-risk pregnancies.
Bionano Genomics (BNGO) announced its participation in the Spanish Society of Hematology (SEHH) 2022 Conference, taking place from October 6-8 in Barcelona. The company featured six scientific presentations showcasing the applications of its optical genome mapping (OGM) technology in hematologic malignancies like leukemias and lymphomas. These independent studies emphasize OGM's utility in cancer genomics and cytogenetic diagnosis, potentially positioning it as a vital tool for future cancer research.
Bionano Genomics (BNGO) announced a study revealing the efficacy of optical genome mapping (OGM) in investigating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Published in Cancer Research, the research demonstrated OGM's capability to detect replication stress-induced structural variations (SVs) more effectively than whole genome sequencing (WGS). The study found that OGM identified 1.4 times more SVs than WGS, illustrating its potential in understanding oncogenesis mechanisms. CEO Erik Holmlin highlighted OGM's sensitivity for large SV detection, emphasizing its complementary role alongside WGS.
Bionano Laboratories and OptraHEALTH have announced a collaboration to integrate the HealthFAX AI platform to enhance genetic counseling services. This initiative aims to improve patient care by automating educational workflows and providing tailored information on genetic testing. The partnership is expected to increase efficiency and scale operations, allowing Bionano Laboratories to better serve patients seeking genetic diagnostics. Both companies emphasize the importance of reducing anxiety for families awaiting genetic test results through improved access to information and support.
Bionano Genomics (Nasdaq: BNGO) announced the launch of Bionano Laboratories, merging optical genome mapping (OGM) data services with Lineagen's clinical testing services. The newly CLIA-certified lab aims to develop laboratory developed tests (LDTs), starting with a test for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), a key condition in muscular disorder evaluations. This milestone is expected to enhance diagnostic capabilities and facilitate insurance reimbursements for OGM-based assays, aligning with the company's growth strategy.
Bionano Genomics announced a study demonstrating the efficacy of optical genome mapping (OGM) in detecting cryptic balanced chromosomal rearrangements (BCRs) in individuals with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). The study involved 11 couples, showing that OGM identified all samples with a 100% concordance to traditional methods like FISH. This highlights OGM's potential as a first-line method for clinical genetic testing, improving detection rates for couples at risk for congenital malformations. CEO Erik Holmlin emphasized the study's importance for patients facing infertility.
Bionano Genomics (Nasdaq: BNGO) has published a new study in Blood Cancer Journal, highlighting the efficiency of Optical Genome Mapping (OGM) for detecting cytogenetic abnormalities in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The study examined 68 patient samples, revealing that OGM identified clinically relevant variants in 33% of MDS and 54% of AML samples, surpassing traditional methods. Key findings suggest OGM's integration into prognostic scoring for myeloid malignancies. This research builds on prior work from MD Anderson Cancer Center.
Bionano Genomics (BNGO) announced a study showcasing the effectiveness of optical genome mapping (OGM) for assessing the quality of hypoimmunogenic induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). This research highlights OGM's ability to detect structural variants in CRISPR-edited cells that traditional methods missed, aiding in genomic integrity evaluation. The study also presents a method to reduce immune rejection risks with CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing. This advancement could enhance iPSC-mediated therapies and improve the safety and efficacy of regenerative medicine applications.
