The impact of comparative genomic hybridization/single-nucleotide polymorphism microarray in risk stratification of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Pediatr Blood Cancer 2024; 71:e31129. [PMID: 38952259 DOI: 10.1002/pbc.31129] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2023] [Revised: 04/18/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 07/03/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of this study is to assess the concordance and added value of combined comparative genomic hybridization plus single-nucleotide polymorphism microarray (CGH/SNP) analyses in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) risk stratification compared to conventional cytogenetic methods. PROCEDURE This is a retrospective study that included patients aged 1-18 years diagnosed with de novo ALL at Sainte-Justine Hospital between 2016 and 2021. Results from conventional cytogenetic and molecular analyses were collected and compared to those of CGH/SNP. RESULTS A total of 135 ALL patients were included. Sample failures or non-diagnostic analyses occurred in 17.8% cases with G-banding karyotypes versus 1.5% cases with CGH/SNP. The mean turnaround time for results was significantly faster for CGH/SNP than karyotype with 5.8 versus 10.7 days, respectively. The comparison of ploidy assessment by CGH/SNP and G-banding karyotype showed strong concordance (r = .82, p < .001, r2 = .68). Furthermore, G-banding karyotype did not detect additional clinically relevant aberrations that were missed by the combined analysis of CGH/SNP and fluorescence in situ hybridization. The most common gene alterations detected by CGH/SNP were deletions involving CDKN2A (35.8%), ETV6 (31.3%), CDKN2B (28.4%), PAX5 (20.1%), IKZF1 (12.7%), and copy-neutral loss of heterozygosity (CN-LOH) of 9p (9.0%). Among these, only ETV6 deletion was found to have a significant prognostic impact with superior event-free survival in both univariate and multivariate analyses (adjusted hazard ratio 0.08, 95% confidence interval: 0.01-0.50, p = .02). CONCLUSION CGH/SNP provided faster, reliable, and highly concordant results than those obtained by conventional cytogenetics. CGH/SNP identified recurrent gene deletions in pediatric ALL, of which ETV6 deletion conferred a favorable prognosis.

Abstract
Genomic structural variants (SVs) play a pivotal role in driving the evolution of hematologic malignancies, particularly in leukemia, in which genetic abnormalities are crucial features. Detecting SVs is essential for achieving precise diagnosis and prognosis in these cases. Karyotyping, often complemented by fluorescence in situ hybridization and/or chromosomal microarray analysis, provides standard diagnostic outcomes for various types of SVs in front-line testing for leukemia. Recently, optical genome mapping (OGM) has emerged as a promising technique due to its ability to detect all SVs identified by other cytogenetic methods within one single assay. Furthermore, OGM has revealed additional clinically significant SVs in various clinical laboratories, underscoring its considerable potential for enhancing front-line testing in cases of leukemia. This review aims to elucidate the principles of conventional cytogenetic techniques and OGM, with a focus on the technical performance of OGM and its applications in diagnosing and prognosticating myelodysplastic syndromes, acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Abstract
Background Structural variants (SVs) are currently analyzed using a combination of conventional methods; however, this approach has limitations. Optical genome mapping (OGM), an emerging technology for detecting SVs using a single-molecule strategy, has the potential to replace conventional methods. We compared OGM with conventional diagnostic methods for detecting SVs in various hematologic malignancies. Methods Residual bone marrow aspirates from 27 patients with hematologic malignancies in whom SVs were observed using conventional methods (chromosomal banding analysis, FISH, an RNA fusion panel, and reverse transcription PCR) were analyzed using OGM. The concordance between the OGM and conventional method results was evaluated. Results OGM showed concordance in 63% (17/27) and partial concordance in 37% (10/27) of samples. OGM detected 76% (52/68) of the total SVs correctly (concordance rate for each type of SVs: aneuploidies, 83% [15/18]; balanced translocation, 80% [12/15] unbalanced translocation, 54% [7/13] deletions, 81% [13/16]; duplications, 100% [2/2] inversion 100% [1/1]; insertion, 100% [1/1]; marker chromosome, 0% [0/1]; isochromosome, 100% [1/1]). Sixteen discordant results were attributed to the involvement of centromeric/telomeric regions, detection sensitivity, and a low mapping rate and coverage. OGM identified additional SVs, including submicroscopic SVs and novel fusions, in five cases. Conclusions OGM shows a high level of concordance with conventional diagnostic methods for the detection of SVs and can identify novel variants, suggesting its potential utility in enabling more comprehensive SV analysis in routine diagnostics of hematologic malignancies, although further studies and improvements are required.

Abstract
Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is a haematological malignancy characterized by the uncontrolled proliferation of immature lymphoid cells. Over past decades, significant progress has been made in understanding the biology of ALL, resulting in remarkable improvements in its diagnosis, treatment and monitoring. Since the advent of chemotherapy, ALL has been the platform to test for innovative approaches applicable to cancer in general. For example, the advent of omics medicine has led to a deeper understanding of the molecular and genetic features that underpin ALL. Innovations in genomic profiling techniques have identified specific genetic alterations and mutations that drive ALL, inspiring new therapies. Targeted agents, such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors and immunotherapies, have shown promising results in subgroups of patients while minimizing adverse effects. Furthermore, the development of chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy represents a breakthrough in ALL treatment, resulting in remarkable responses and potential long-term remissions. Advances are not limited to treatment modalities alone. Measurable residual disease monitoring and ex vivo drug response profiling screening have provided earlier detection of disease relapse and identification of exceptional responders, enabling clinicians to adjust treatment strategies for individual patients. Decades of supportive and prophylactic care have improved the management of treatment-related complications, enhancing the quality of life for patients with ALL.

Optical Genome Mapping for Comprehensive Cytogenetic Analysis of Soft-Tissue and Bone Tumors for Diagnostic Purposes. J Mol Diagn 2024; 26:374-386. [PMID: 38395407 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmoldx.2024.02.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2023] [Revised: 01/21/2024] [Accepted: 02/08/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Soft-tissue and bone tumors represent a heterogeneous group of tumors encompassing more than 100 histologic subtypes today. Identifying genetic aberrations increasingly is important in these tumors for accurate diagnosis. Although gene mutations typically are detected by second-generation sequencing, the identification of structural variants (SVs) and copy number alterations (CNAs) remains challenging and requires various cytogenetic techniques including karyotyping, fluorescence in situ hybridization, and arrays, each with important limitations. Optical Genome Mapping (OGM), a non-sequencing-based technique for high-resolution detection of SVs and CNAs, was applied in a retrospective series of diagnostic soft-tissue and bone tumor samples. Sample preparation was successful in 38 of 53 cases, with the highest success rate in nonadipocytic soft-tissue tumors (24 of 27 cases; 89%). In 32 of 35 cases carrying a diagnostic SV or CNA, OGM identified the aberration (91%), including a POU2AF3::EWSR1 fusion in a round cell sarcoma and a translocation t(1;5)(p22;p15) in a myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma. Interestingly, OGM shed light on the genomic complexity underlying the various aberrations. In five samples, OGM showed that chains of rearrangements generated the diagnostic fusion, three of which involved chromoplexy. In addition, in nine samples, chromothripsis was causal to the formation of giant marker/ring/double-minute chromosomes. Finally, compared with standard-of-care cytogenetics, OGM revealed additional aberrations, requiring further investigation of their potential clinical relevance.

Abstract
Optical Genome Mapping (OGM) is rapidly emerging as an exciting cytogenomic technology both for research and clinical purposes. In the last 2 years alone, multiple studies have demonstrated that OGM not only matches the diagnostic scope of conventional standard of care cytogenomic clinical testing but it also adds significant new information in certain cases. Since OGM consolidates the diagnostic benefits of multiple costly and laborious tests (e.g., karyotyping, fluorescence in situ hybridization, and chromosomal microarrays) in a single cost-effective assay, many clinical laboratories have started to consider utilizing OGM. In 2021, an international working group of early adopters of OGM who are experienced with routine clinical cytogenomic testing in patients with hematological neoplasms formed a consortium (International Consortium for OGM in Hematologic Malignancies, henceforth "the Consortium") to create a consensus framework for implementation of OGM in a clinical setting. The focus of the Consortium is to provide guidance for laboratories implementing OGM in three specific areas: validation, quality control and analysis and interpretation of variants. Since OGM is a complex technology with many variables, we felt that by consolidating our collective experience, we could provide a practical and useful tool for uniform implementation of OGM in hematologic malignancies with the ultimate goal of achieving globally accepted standards.

Abstract
Acute leukemia is a particularly problematic collection of hematological cancers, and, while somewhat rare, the survival rate of patients is typically abysmal without bone marrow transplantation. Furthermore, traditional chemotherapies used as standard-of-care for patients cause significant side effects. Understanding the evolution of leukemia to identify novel targets and, therefore, drug treatment regimens is a significant medical need. Genomic rearrangements and other structural variations (SVs) have long been known to be causative and pathogenic in multiple types of cancer, including leukemia. These SVs may be involved in cancer initiation, progression, clonal evolution, and drug resistance, and a better understanding of SVs from individual patients may help guide therapeutic options. Here, we show the utilization of optical genome mapping (OGM) to detect known and novel SVs in the samples of patients with leukemia. Importantly, this technology provides an unprecedented level of granularity and quantitation unavailable to other current techniques and allows for the unbiased detection of novel SVs, which may be relevant to disease pathogenesis and/or drug resistance. Coupled with the chemosensitivities of these samples to FDA-approved oncology drugs, we show how an impartial integrative analysis of these diverse datasets can be used to associate the detected genomic rearrangements with multiple drug sensitivity profiles. Indeed, an insertion in the gene MUSK is shown to be associated with increased sensitivity to the clinically relevant agent Idarubicin, while partial tandem duplication events in the KMT2A gene are related to the efficacy of another frontline treatment, Cytarabine.

Abstract
Genomic characterization is an essential part of the clinical management of hematological malignancies for diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic purposes. Although CBA and FISH are still the gold standard in hematology for the detection of CNA and SV, some alternative technologies are intended to complement their deficiencies or even replace them in the more or less near future. In this article, we provide a technological overview of these alternatives. CMA is the historical and well established technique for the high-resolution detection of CNA. For SV detection, there are emerging techniques based on the study of chromatin conformation and more established ones such as RTMLPA for the detection of fusion transcripts and RNA-seq to reveal the molecular consequences of SV. Comprehensive techniques that detect both CNA and SV are the most interesting because they provide all the information in a single examination. Among these, OGM is a promising emerging higher-solution technique that offers a complete solution at a contained cost, at the expense of a relatively low throughput per machine. WGS remains the most adaptable solution, with long-read approaches enabling very high-resolution detection of CAs, but requiring a heavy bioinformatics installation and at a still high cost. However, the development of high-resolution genome-wide detection techniques for CAs allows for a much better description of chromoanagenesis. Therefore, we have included in this review an update on the various existing mechanisms and their consequences and implications, especially prognostic, in hematological malignancies.

Abstract
Optical genome mapping (OGM) has generated excitement following decades of research and development. Now, commercially available technical platforms have been used to compare various other cytogenetic and cytogenomic technologies, including karyotype, microarrays, and DNA sequencing, with impressive results. In this chapter, using OGM as a case study, we advocate for a new trend in future cytogenomics, emphasizing the power of machine automation to deliver higher-quality cytogenomic data. By briefly discussing OGM, along with its major advantages and limitations, we underscore the importance of karyotype-based genomic research, from both a theoretical framework and a new technology perspective. We also call for the encouragement of further technological platform development for the future of cytogenetics and cytogenomics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accurate histologic and molecular genetic diagnosis is critical for the pathogenesis study of pediatric patients with lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL). Optical genome mapping (OGM) as all-in-one process allows the detection of most major genomic risk markers, which addresses some of the limitations associated with conventional cytogenomic testing, such as low resolution and throughput, difficulty in ascertaining genomic localization, and orientation of segments in duplication, inversions, and insertions. Here, for the first time, we examined the cytogenetics of 5 children with LBL using OGM. METHODS OGM was used to analyze 5 samples of pediatric LBL patients treated according to the modified NHL-BFM95 backbone regimen. Whole-exon Sequencing (WES) was used to confirm the existence of structural variants (SVs) identified by OGM with potentially clinical significance on MGI Tech (DNBSEQ-T7) platform. According to the fusion exon sequences revealed by WES, the HBS1L :: AHI1 fusion mRNA in case 4 was amplified by cDNA-based PCR. RESULTS In total, OGM identified 251 rare variants (67 insertions, 129 deletions, 3 inversion, 25 duplications, 15 intrachromosomal translocations, and 12 interchromosomal translocations) and 229 copy number variants calls (203 gains and 26 losses). Besides all of the reproducible and pathologically significant genomic SVs detected by conventional cytogenetic techniques, OGM identified more SVs with definite or potential pathologic significance that were not detected by traditional methods, including 2 new fusion genes, HBS1L :: AHI1 and GRIK1::NSDHL , which were confirmed by WES and/or Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction. CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrate the feasibility of OGM to detect genomic aberrations, which may play an important role in the occurrence and development of lymphomagenesis as an important driving factor.

Abstract
Standard cytogenetic techniques (chromosomal banding analysis-CBA, and fluorescence in situ hybridization-FISH) show limits in characterizing complex chromosomal rearrangements and structural variants arising from two or more chromosomal breaks. In this study, we applied optical genome mapping (OGM) to fully characterize two cases of complex chromosomal rearrangements at high resolution. In case 1, an acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patient showing chromothripsis, OGM analysis was fully concordant with classic cytogenetic techniques and helped to better refine chromosomal breakpoints. The OGM results of case 2, a patient with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, were only partially in agreement with previous cytogenetic analyses and helped to better define clonal heterogeneity, overcoming the bias related to clonal selection due to cell culture of cytogenetic techniques. In both cases, OGM analysis led to the identification of molecular markers, helping to define the pathogenesis, classification, and prognosis of the analyzed patients. Despite extensive efforts to study hematologic diseases, standard cytogenetic methods display unsurmountable limits, while OGM is a tool that has the power to overcome these limitations and provide a cytogenetic analysis at higher resolution. As OGM also shows limits in defining regions of a repetitive nature, combining OGM with CBA to obtain a complete cytogenetic characterization would be desirable.

Abstract
The last five decades have witnessed significant improvement in diagnostics, treatment and management of children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). These advancements have become possible through progress in our understanding of the genetic and biological background of ALL, resulting in the introduction of risk-adapted treatment and novel therapeutic targets, e.g., tyrosine kinase inhibitors for BCR::ABL1-positive ALL. Further advances in the taxonomy of ALL and the discovery of new genetic biomarkers and therapeutic targets, as well as the introduction of targeted and immunotherapies into the frontline treatment protocols, may improve management and outcome of children with ALL. In this review we describe the current developments in the (cyto)genetic diagnostics and management of children with ALL, and provide an overview of the most important advances in the genetic classification of ALL. Furthermore, we discuss perspectives resulting from the development of new techniques, including artificial intelligence (AI).

Abstract
PURPOSE Cytogenetic analysis provides important information for prenatal decision-making and genetic counseling. Optical genome mapping (OGM) has demonstrated its performances in retrospective studies. In our prospective study, we assessed the quality of DNA obtained from cultures of amniotic fluid (AF) and chorionic villi (CV) and evaluated the ability of OGM to detect all clinically relevant aberrations identified by standard methods. METHODS A total of 37 prenatal samples from pregnancies with a fetal anomaly on ultrasound were analyzed prospectively by OGM between January 1, 2021 and June 31, 2022. OGM results were interpreted blindly and compared to the results obtained by standard techniques. RESULTS OGM results were interpretable in 92% of samples. We observed 100% concordance between OGM and karyotype and/or chromosomal microarray results. In addition, OGM identified a median of 30 small (<100 kb) structural variations per case with the involvement of 12 OMIM genes, of which 3 were OMIM morbid genes. CONCLUSION This prospective study showed OGM performed well in detecting genomic alterations in cell cultures from prenatal samples. The place of OGM in relation to CMA or exome sequencing remains to be defined in order to optimize the prenatal diagnostic procedure.

Abstract
Molecular analysis is the hallmark of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) categorization. Several T-ALL sub-groups are well recognized based on the aberrant expression of specific transcription factors. This recently resulted in the implementation of eight provisional T-ALL entities into the novel 2022 International Consensus Classification, albeit not into the updated World Health Organization classification system. Despite this extensive molecular characterization, cytogenetic analysis remains the backbone of T-ALL diagnosis in many countries as chromosome banding analysis and fluorescence in situ hybridization are relatively inexpensive techniques to obtain results of diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic interest. Here, we provide an overview of recurrent chromosomal abnormalities detectable in T-ALL patients and propose guidelines regarding their detection. By referring in parallel to the more general molecular classification approach, we hope to offer a diagnostic framework useful in a broad clinical genetic setting.

Curr Res Transl Med 2023; 71:103409.

Abstract
Myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS) are clonal hematopoietic neoplasms. Chromosomal abnormalities (CAs) are detected in 40-45% of de novo MDS and up to 80% of post-cytotoxic therapy MDS (MDS-pCT). Lately, several changes appeared in World Health Organization (WHO) classification and International Consensus Classification (ICC). The novel 'biallelic TP53 inactivation' (also called 'multi-hit TP53') MDS entity requires systematic investigation of TP53 locus (17p13.1). The ICC maintains CA allowing the diagnosis of MDS without dysplasia (del(5q), del(7q), -7 and complex karyotype). Deletion 5q is the only CA, still representing a low blast class of its own, if isolated or associated with one additional CA other than -7 or del(7q) and without multi-hit TP53. It represents one of the most frequent aberrations in adults' MDS, with chromosome 7 aberrations, and trisomy 8. Conversely, translocations are rarer in MDS. In children, del(5q) is very rare while -7 and del(7q) are predominant. Identification of a germline predisposition is key in childhood MDS. Aberrations of chromosomes 5, 7 and 17 are the most frequent in MDS-pCT, grouped in complex karyotypes. Despite the ever-increasing importance of molecular features, cytogenetics remains a major part of diagnosis and prognosis. In 2022, a molecular international prognostic score (IPSS-M) was proposed, combining the prognostic value of mutated genes to the previous scoring parameters (IPSS-R) including cytogenetics, still essential. A karyotype on bone marrow remains mandatory at diagnosis of MDS with complementary molecular analyses now required. Analyses with FISH or other technologies providing similar information can be necessary to complete and help in case of karyotype failure, for doubtful CA, for clonality assessment, and for detection of TP53 deletion to assess TP53 biallelic alterations.

Abstract
Cytogenetic analysis is mandatory at initial assessment of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) due to its diagnostic and prognostic value. Results from chromosome banding analysis and complementary FISH are taken into account in therapeutic protocols and further completed by other techniques (RT-PCR, SNP-array, MLPA, NGS, OGM). Indeed, new genomic entities have been identified by NGS, mostly RNA sequencing, such as Ph-like ALL that can benefit from targeted therapy. Here, we have attempted to establish cytogenetic guidelines by reviewing the most recent published data including the novel 5th World Health Organization and International Consensus Classifications. We also focused on newly described cytogenomic entities and indicate alternative diagnostic tools such as NGS technology, as its importance is vastly increasing in the diagnostic setting.

Abstract
The mutational landscape of B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL), the most common pediatric cancer, is not fully described partially because commonly applied short-read next generation sequencing has a limited ability to identify structural variations. By combining comprehensive analysis of structural variants (SVs), single-nucleotide variants (SNVs), and small insertions-deletions, new subtype-defining and therapeutic targets may be detected. We analyzed the landscape of somatic alterations in 60 pediatric patients diagnosed with the most common BCP-ALL subtypes, ETV6::RUNX1+ and classical hyperdiploid (HD), using conventional cytogenetics, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array, whole exome sequencing (WES), and the novel optical genome mapping (OGM) technique. Ninety-five percent of SVs detected by cytogenetics and SNP-array were verified by OGM. OGM detected an additional 677 SVs not identified using the conventional methods, including (subclonal) IKZF1 deletions. Based on OGM, ETV6::RUNX1+ BCP-ALL harbored 2.7 times more SVs than HD BCP-ALL, mainly focal deletions. Besides SVs in known leukemia development genes (ETV6, PAX5, BTG1, CDKN2A), we identified 19 novel recurrently altered regions (in n ≥ 3) including 9p21.3 (FOCAD/HACD4), 8p11.21 (IKBKB), 1p34.3 (ZMYM1), 4q24 (MANBA), 8p23.1 (MSRA), and 10p14 (SFMBT2), as well as ETV6::RUNX1+ subtype-specific SVs (12p13.1 (GPRC5A), 12q24.21 (MED13L), 18q11.2 (MIB1), 20q11.22 (NCOA6)). We detected 3 novel fusion genes (SFMBT2::DGKD, PDS5B::STAG2, and TDRD5::LPCAT2), for which the sequence and expression were validated by long-read and whole transcriptome sequencing, respectively. OGM and WES identified double hits of SVs and SNVs (ETV6, BTG1, STAG2, MANBA, TBL1XR1, NSD2) in the same patient demonstrating the power of the combined approach to define the landscape of genomic alterations in BCP-ALL.

Abstract
Cytogenetic assessment in myelofibrosis is essential for risk stratification and patient management. However, an informative karyotype is unavailable in a significant proportion of patients. Optical genome mapping (OGM) is a promising technique that allows for a high-resolution assessment of chromosomal aberrations (structural variants, copy number variants, and loss of heterozygosity) in a single workflow. In this study, peripheral blood samples from a series of 21 myelofibrosis patients were analyzed via OGM. We assessed the clinical impact of the application of OGM for disease risk stratification using the DIPSS-plus, GIPSS, and MIPSS70+v2 prognostic scores compared with the standard-of-care approach. OGM, in combination with NGS, allowed for risk classification in all cases, compared to only 52% when conventional techniques were used. Cases with unsuccessful karyotypes (n = 10) using conventional techniques were fully characterized using OGM. In total, 19 additional cryptic aberrations were identified in 9 out of 21 patients (43%). No alterations were found via OGM in 4/21 patients with previously normal karyotypes. OGM upgraded the risk category for three patients with available karyotypes. This is the first study using OGM in myelofibrosis. Our data support that OGM is a valuable tool that can greatly contribute to improve disease risk stratification in myelofibrosis patients.

Abstract
Optical genome mapping (OGM) is a new genome-wide technology that can reveal both structural genomic variations (SVs) and copy number variations (CNVs) in a single assay. OGM was initially employed to perform genome assembly and genome research, but it is now more widely used to study chromosome aberrations in genetic disorders and in human cancer. One of the most useful OGM applications is in hematological malignancies, where chromosomal rearrangements are frequent and conventional cytogenetic analysis alone is insufficient, necessitating further confirmation using ancillary techniques such as fluorescence in situ hybridization, chromosomal microarrays, or multiple ligation-dependent probe amplification. The first studies tested OGM efficiency and sensitivity for SV and CNV detection, comparing heterogeneous groups of lymphoid and myeloid hematological sample data with those obtained using standard cytogenetic diagnostic tests. Most of the work based on this innovative technology was focused on myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), whereas little attention was paid to chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or multiple myeloma (MM), and none was paid to lymphomas. The studies showed that OGM can now be considered as a highly reliable method, concordant with standard cytogenetic techniques but able to detect novel clinically significant SVs, thus allowing better patient classification, prognostic stratification, and therapeutic choices in hematological malignancies.

Abstract
Cytogenetic aberrations are found in 65% of adults and 75% of children with acute leukemia. Specific aberrations are used as markers for the prognostic stratification of patients. The current standard cytogenetic procedure for acute leukemias is karyotyping in combination with FISH and RT-PCR. Optical genome mapping (OGM) is a new technology providing a precise identification of chromosomal abnormalities in a single approach. In our prospective study, the results obtained using OGM and standard techniques were compared in 29 cases of acute myeloid (AML) or lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). OGM detected 73% (53/73) of abnormalities identified by standard methods. In AML cases, two single clones and three subclones were missed by OGM, but the assignment of patients to cytogenetic risk groups was concordant in all patients. OGM identified additional abnormalities in six cases, including one cryptic structural variant of clinical interest and two subclones. In B-ALL cases, OGM correctly detected all relevant aberrations and revealed additional potentially targetable alterations. In T-ALL cases, OGM characterized a complex karyotype in one case and identified additional abnormalities in two others. In conclusion, OGM is an attractive alternative to current multiple cytogenetic testing in acute leukemia that simplifies the procedure and reduces costs.

[PMID: 36980958 PMCID: PMC10048194 DOI: 10.3390/genes14030686] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2022] [Revised: 02/14/2023] [Accepted: 03/07/2023] [Indexed: 03/12/2023] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: In acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) the genetic characterization remains challenging. Due to the genetic heterogeneity of mutations in adult patients, only a small proportion of aberrations can be analyzed with standard routine diagnostics. Optical genome mapping (OGM) has recently opened up new possibilities for the characterization of structural variants on a genome-wide level, thus enabling simultaneous analysis for a broad spectrum of genetic aberrations. (2) Methods: 11 adult ALL patients were examined using OGM. (3) Results: Genetic results obtained by karyotyping and FISH were confirmed by OGM for all patients. Karyotype was redefined, and additional genetic information was obtained in 82% (9/11) of samples by OGM, previously not diagnosed by standard of care. Besides gross-structural chromosome rearrangements, e.g., ring chromosome 9 and putative isodicentric chromosome 8q, deletions in CDKN2A/2B were detected in 7/11 patients, defining an approx. 20 kb minimum region of overlap, including an alternative exon 1 of the CDKN2A gene. The results further confirm recurrent ALL aberrations (e.g., PAX5, ETV6, VPREB1, IKZF1). (4) Conclusions: Genome-wide OGM analysis enables a broad genetic characterization in adult ALL patients in one single workup compared to standard clinical testing, facilitating a detailed genetic diagnosis, risk-stratification, and target-directed treatment strategies.

Optical Genome Mapping for Cytogenetic Diagnostics in AML. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:cancers15061684. [PMID: 36980569 PMCID: PMC10046241 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15061684] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2023] [Revised: 02/24/2023] [Accepted: 03/06/2023] [Indexed: 03/12/2023] Open
Abstract
The classification and risk stratification of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is based on reliable genetic diagnostics. A broad and expanding variety of relevant aberrations are structural variants beyond single-nucleotide variants. Optical Genome Mapping is an unbiased, genome-wide, amplification-free method for the detection of structural variants. In this review, the current knowledge of Optical Genome Mapping (OGM) with regard to diagnostics in hematological malignancies in general, and AML in specific, is summarized. Furthermore, this review focuses on the ability of OGM to expand the use of cytogenetic diagnostics in AML and perhaps even replace older techniques such as chromosomal-banding analysis, fluorescence in situ hybridization, or copy number variation microarrays. Finally, OGM is compared to amplification-based techniques and a brief outlook for future directions is given.

Abstract
Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) is a haematological malignancy characterised by the accumulation of monoclonal mature B lymphocytes (positive for CD5+ and CD23+) in peripheral blood, bone marrow, and lymph nodes. Although CLL is reported to be rare in Asian countries compared to Western countries, the disease course is more aggressive in Asian countries than in their Western counterparts. It has been postulated that this is due to genetic variants between populations. Various cytogenomic methods, either of the traditional type (conventional cytogenetics or fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH)) or using more advanced technology such as DNA microarrays, next generation sequencing (NGS), or genome wide association studies (GWAS), were used to detect chromosomal aberrations in CLL. Up until now, conventional cytogenetic analysis remained the gold standard in diagnosing chromosomal abnormality in haematological malignancy including CLL, even though it is tedious and time-consuming. In concordance with technological advancement, DNA microarrays are gaining popularity among clinicians as they are faster and better able to accurately diagnose the presence of chromosomal abnormalities. However, every technology has challenges to overcome. In this review, CLL and its genetic abnormalities will be discussed, as well as the application of microarray technology as a diagnostic platform.

Abstract
Myeloid neoplasms and acute leukemias derive from the clonal expansion of hematopoietic cells driven by somatic gene mutations. Although assessment of morphology plays a crucial role in the diagnostic evaluation of patients with these malignancies, genomic characterization has become increasingly important for accurate diagnosis, risk assessment, and therapeutic decision making. Conventional cytogenetics, a comprehensive and unbiased method for assessing chromosomal abnormalities, has been the mainstay of genomic testing over the past several decades and remains relevant today. However, more recent advances in sequencing technology have increased our ability to detect somatic mutations through the use of targeted gene panels, whole-exome sequencing, whole-genome sequencing, and whole-transcriptome sequencing or RNA sequencing. In patients with myeloid neoplasms, whole-genome sequencing represents a potential replacement for both conventional cytogenetic and sequencing approaches, providing rapid and accurate comprehensive genomic profiling. DNA sequencing methods are used not only for detecting somatically acquired gene mutations but also for identifying germline gene mutations associated with inherited predisposition to hematologic neoplasms. The 2022 International Consensus Classification of myeloid neoplasms and acute leukemias makes extensive use of genomic data. The aim of this report is to help physicians and laboratorians implement genomic testing for diagnosis, risk stratification, and clinical decision making and illustrates the potential of genomic profiling for enabling personalized medicine in patients with hematologic neoplasms.

Abstract
Chromosome banding analysis (CBA) remains the standard-of-care for structural variant (SV) assessment in MDS. Optical genome mapping (OGM) is a novel, non-sequencing-based technique for high-resolution genome-wide SV profiling (SVP). We explored the clinical value of SVP by OGM in 101 consecutive, newly diagnosed MDS patients from a single-center, who underwent standard-of-care cytogenetic and targeted NGS studies. OGM detected 383 clinically significant, recurrent and novel SVs. Of these, 224 (51%) SVs, seen across 34% of patients, were cryptic by CBA (included rearrangements involving MECOM, NUP98::PRRX2, KMT2A partial tandem duplications among others). SVP decreased the proportion of normal karyotype by 16%, identified complex genomes (17%), chromothripsis (6%) and generated informative results in both patients with insufficient metaphases. Precise gene/exon-level mapping allowed assessment of clinically relevant biomarkers (TP53 allele status, KMT2A-PTD) without additional testing. SV data was complementary to NGS. When applied in retrospect, OGM results changed the comprehensive cytogenetic scoring system (CCSS) and R-IPSS risk-groups in 21% and 17% patients respectively with an improved prediction of prognosis. By multivariate analysis, CCSS by OGM only (not CBA), TP53 mutation and BM blasts independently predicted survival. This is the first and largest study reporting the value of combined SVP and NGS for MDS prognostication.

Abstract
Copy number variations (CNVs) are widespread in both pediatric and adult cases of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL); however, their clinical significance remains unclear. This review primarily discusses the most prevalent CNVs in B-ALL to elucidate their clinical value and further personalized management of this population. The discovery of the molecular mechanism of gene deletion and the development of targeted drugs will further enhance the clinical prognosis of B-ALL.

Abstract
Chromothripsis (cth) has been associated with a dismal outcome and poor prognosis factors in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Despite being correlated with high genome instability, previous studies have not assessed the role of cth in the context of genomic complexity. Herein, we analyzed a cohort of 33 CLL patients with cth and compared them against a cohort of 129 non-cth cases with complex karyotypes. Nine cth cases were analyzed using optical genome mapping (OGM). Patterns detected by genomic microarrays were compared and the prognostic value of cth was analyzed. Cth was distributed throughout the genome, with chromosomes 3, 6 and 13 being those most frequently affected. OGM detected 88.1% of the previously known copy number alterations and several additional cth-related rearrangements (median: 9, range: 3-26). Two patterns were identified: one with rearrangements clustered in the region with cth (3/9) and the other involving both chromothriptic and non-chromothriptic chromosomes (6/9). Cases with cth showed a shorter time to first treatment (TTFT) than non-cth patients (median TTFT: 2 m vs. 15 m; p = 0.013). However, when stratifying patients based on TP53 status, cth did not affect TTFT. Only TP53 maintained its significance in the multivariate analysis for TTFT, including cth and genome complexity defined by genomic microarrays (HR: 1.60; p = 0.029). Our findings suggest that TP53 abnormalities, rather than cth itself, underlie the poor prognosis observed in this subset.

Abstract
Novel treatments in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) have generated interest regarding the clinical impact of genomic complexity, currently assessed by chromosome banding analysis (CBA) and chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA). Optical genome mapping (OGM), a novel technique based on imaging of long DNA molecules labeled at specific sites, allows the identification of multiple cytogenetic abnormalities in a single test. We aimed to determine whether OGM is a suitable alternative to cytogenomic assessment in CLL, especially focused on genomic complexity. Cytogenomic OGM aberrations from 42 patients were compared with CBA, FISH, and CMA information. Clinical−biological characteristics and time to first treatment (TTFT) were analyzed according to the complexity detected by OGM. Globally, OGM identified 90.3% of the known alterations (279/309). Discordances were mainly found in (peri-)centromeric or telomeric regions or subclonal aberrations (<15−20%). OGM underscored additional abnormalities, providing novel structural information on known aberrations in 55% of patients. Regarding genomic complexity, the number of OGM abnormalities had better accuracy in predicting TTFT than current methods (C-index: 0.696, 0.602, 0.661 by OGM, CBA, and CMA, respectively). A cut-off of ≥10 alterations defined a complex OGM group (C-OGM, n = 12), which included 11/14 patients with ≥5 abnormalities by CBA/CMA and one patient with chromothripsis (Kappa index = 0.778; p < 0.001). Moreover, C-OGM displayed enrichment of TP53 abnormalities (58.3% vs. 3.3%, p < 0.001) and a significantly shorter TTFT (median: 2 vs. 43 months, p = 0.014). OGM is a robust technology for implementation in the routine management of CLL patients, although further studies are required to define standard genomic complexity criteria.

Smith AC, Neveling K, Kanagal‐Shamanna R. Optical genome mapping for structural variation analysis in hematologic malignancies. Am J Hematol 2022; 97:975-982. [PMID: 35560245 DOI: 10.1002/ajh.26587] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2022] [Revised: 04/26/2022] [Accepted: 04/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
Optical genome mapping (OGM) is a technology that is rapidly being adopted in clinical genetics laboratories for its ability to detect structural variation (e.g., translocations, inversions, deletions, duplications, etc.) and replace several concurrent standard of care techniques (karyotype, fluorescence in situ hybridization, and chromosomal microarray). OGM can dramatically simplify lab workflow by reducing multiple tests (conventional karyotype, fluorescence in situ hybridization [FISH], and chromosomal microarray) into one test. The superior ability to detect structural variation across the genome removes the need for reflex FISH studies, which can dramatically reduce cost and turnaround time per sample. Parallel studies of OGM versus standard of care testing have demonstrated it can detect and resolve more abnormalities than karyotyping or FISH. However, like many molecular tests that normalize copy number it can have difficulty with non-diploid karyotypes. This Test of the Month review will summarize how the technique works, review the strengths and weaknesses of OGM compared to standard of care techniques and illustrate how the technique is likely to change front line testing in many hematologic malignancies-including summarizing the clinical utility in acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, and B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
