Optimal genome mapping offers high-resolution method to better see, then target cancer-causing gene variants
...The standardization of the technique was necessary to establish precisely how to use OGM on patients to obtain consistently, accurate results.
Other investigators also have been exploring OGM's potential in specific cancers like acute lymphoblastic leukemias and larger groups of cancer types as well.
There already is some movement in places like Europe and Canada to move away from longtime approaches like FISH and move toward OGM. Kolhe hopes the newly published information about how to use OGM for patients will help do the same in this country.
Later this month, the Georgia Cancer Center will be the first to use OGM for patient care in the United States, Kolhe says. While many centers do not have the OGM technology, providers can send their patients' cells to MCG's Georgia Esoteric and Molecular Lab for testing effectively immediately...
