Bionano Genomics (BNGO) announced three peer-reviewed publications validating optical genome mapping (OGM) as a superior alternative to traditional cytogenetic methods for analyzing hematological malignancies. The studies indicate that OGM demonstrates high concordance rates with traditional methods, revealing additional relevant genetic variants that could influence clinical decisions. Key findings include:
- 91% concordance in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and 83% in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).
- OGM's detection threshold can be lowered to 1-2% variant allele fraction.
- OGM provides results in 4 days without cell culture.
The research highlights OGM's potential for enhanced patient management and risk assessment, positioning it as a first-tier cytogenetic testing option.
Bionano Genomics (Nasdaq: BNGO) announced preliminary financial results for Q1 2023, predicting total revenues between $7.3 million and $7.5 million, reflecting a 28% to 32% increase from Q1 2022. The installed base of Saphyr® systems grew to 259, marking a 47% year-over-year rise, with an increase of 19 systems in the quarter. Additionally, 5,226 nanochannel array flowcells are expected to be sold, indicating a 62% growth over the previous year. Bionano has decided to withdraw its applications for Category I CPT codes for optical genome mapping (OGM) to avoid potential assignment of less favorable Category III codes. This quarter marks the 10th consecutive quarter of revenue growth, with a revenue guidance of $35 million to $38 million for the full year 2023.
