The New York State Department of Health's Clinical Laboratory Evaluation Program (CLEP) provides a useful framework for understanding laboratory-developed test oversight, particularly through its guidelines for next-generation sequencing assays. These CLEP requirements for analytical validation are widely recognized as a national standard, yet there is limited peer-reviewed literature detailing the studies needed for CLEP approval. This study presents the validation of the Rapid Pan-Heme (RPPH) assay, a genomic profiling tool for hematopoietic neoplasms, developed in compliance with CLEP standards. The RPPH assay features a comprehensive next-generation sequencing panel targeting >400 genes with clinically relevant variants, including single-nucleotide variants, insertions and deletions, and fusions critical for classifying hematopoietic malignancies. CLEP approval mandates detailed documentation, quality control metrics, validation studies (accuracy, precision, and reproducibility), and compliant clinical reporting. It is demonstrated that RPPH achieves CLEP's stringent analytical sensitivity and reproducibility criteria. Variants were orthogonally validated, and proper controls were implemented. Additionally, it is outlined how RPPH's clinical reports align with CLEP requirements. Overall, this study establishes RPPH as a robust molecular diagnostic tool and provides actionable insights for researchers navigating regulatory compliance and assay validation in clinical settings.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50128,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Molecular Diagnostics","volume":"27 6","pages":"Pages 485-501"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143755541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Receiver operating characteristic analysis identified an optimized interpretation criterion that only improved the diagnostic yield marginally compared with the preexisting algorithm. Further clinicopathologic evaluation of discordant cases revealed that discrepancies mostly arose from technical limitations or the underlying nuanced biology of the diagnosis.

Optical genome mapping is a high-resolution technology capable of identifying structural variants and copy number variations across the entire genome; however, it currently requires 1 million cells. To overcome this constraint, an innovative strategy was implemented in this work based on mixing CD138-positive and CD138-negative fractions from the same patient, optimizing the use of available CD138-positive cells for genome-wide analysis. First, dilution experiments demonstrated that a 50% CD138-positive mix was sufficient to achieve complete detection of clonal structural and copy number variants, while establishing a detection threshold of 24% for copy number variants. Using this optimized protocol, 13 additional samples from 13 patients were analyzed. Optical genome mapping achieved 93% (13/15) concordance with fluorescence <em>in situ</em> hybridization for clonal anomalies and revealed >22 additional genomic variations not detected by fluorescence <em>in situ</em> hybridization.

Here, a single-institutional clinical experience with a testing algorithm for non–small-cell lung carcinoma that uses amplicon-based DNA/RNA sequencing, followed by reflex hybridization-capture–based RNA sequencing if the initial testing is negative for oncogenic drivers, is reported.

DNA methylation of the D4Z4 repeat array has been proposed for diagnosis and prognosis of FSHD disease severity; however, further validation in larger populations is needed. Two hundred forty-seven clinically suspected FSHD cases were retrospectively analyzed with D4Z4 analysis by optical genome mapping or molecular combing and tested the DNA methylation levels for 75 patients and 49 healthy controls. A D4Z4 repeat length–dependent nonlinear increase was observed in both distal and global D4Z4 methylation levels. Distal D4Z4 methylation levels identified patients with FSHD1 with a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 97.96% at a cutoff value of 39.66% compared with controls. Distal FSHD1-like hypomethylation was also observed in one subject carrying a special D4Z4 rearrangement, resulting in a proximal contracted array. Clinically, distal methylation levels demonstrated a strong correlation with the age-corrected clinical severity score and onset age. Mediation analysis revealed that the influence of distal methylation on age-corrected clinical severity score was partially mediated by onset age.

Although WES offers economic advantages over whole-genome sequencing, it struggles with CNV detection because of technical noise introduced by laboratory and analytic processes. Manual curation of CNV calls generated by these tools is labor intensive and error prone. To address this, SeeNV, a command-line tool, is introduced to aid manual curation of CNVs at scale.

Using CNV calls identified in publicly available WES and whole-genome sequencing samples, users can rapidly and reliably curate CNV calls, needing only 4.3 seconds to curate a call, achieving 0.95 recall (analytical sensitivity) and 0.74 precision (positive predictive value).
