Cytogenetics in the management of hematological malignancies: An overview of alternative technologies for cytogenetic characterization - 18/04/24
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.
