Abstract
Introduction
Optical genome mapping using the Bionano Saphyr platform has been deployed as the front-line diagnostic test for acute leukemias at Vancouver General Hospital. The new OGM platform iteration, Stratys, incorporates updates aimed at increasing throughput and is under evaluation to facilitate ramp-up of OGM-based testing in our clinical laboratory. We describe preliminary results of a clinical verification of Stratys, through comparison with the Saphyr, in diagnostic evaluation of hematologic malignancies.
Methods
We processed and annotated 10 specimens from patients with AML (6), ALL (3), and MDS (1) using manufacturer-recommended protocols on Saphyr (rare variant analysis pipeline) and Stratys (low allele fraction guided assembly pipeline). Data quality metrics and identified variants (filtered using provided control datasets and laboratory-developed gene-based filtering approaches) were compared between platforms.
Results
All 32 variants meeting our laboratory's clinical reporting standards using Saphyr were detected using Stratys. Data quality metrics differed negligibly for cases between platforms. Unfiltered Stratys data included substantially more duplication calls (median 64% increase over Saphyr) but population-filtered variants were similar in number between platforms. In representative variants (including translocations/deletions/chromosome gain/loss), breakpoint nucleotide positions were typically identical or, infrequently, differed by less than 10kb interplatform, and variant frequency measures typically differed by 8% on average (without a clear interplatform bias).
Conclusion
Preliminary analysis of verification data indicates Stratys to perform comparably to Saphyr for detection of reportable somatic variants in clinical bone marrow specimens, albeit with relative changes in variant call rates (for variants we currently consider non-reportable) and reported variant burdens.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Cancer Genetics is to publish high quality scientific papers on the cellular, genetic and molecular aspects of cancer, including cancer predisposition and clinical diagnostic applications. Specific areas of interest include descriptions of new chromosomal, molecular or epigenetic alterations in benign and malignant diseases; novel laboratory approaches for identification and characterization of chromosomal rearrangements or genomic alterations in cancer cells; correlation of genetic changes with pathology and clinical presentation; and the molecular genetics of cancer predisposition. To reach a basic science and clinical multidisciplinary audience, we welcome original full-length articles, reviews, meeting summaries, brief reports, and letters to the editor.
