    OGM enhances detection of genetic variants in acute leukemia.

  • 2

    Study analyzed 200 patients finding 640 variants vs. 444 with standard tests.

  • 3

    Nearly 20% had significant abnormalities previously missed.

  • 4

    OGM complements, but doesn't completely replace, existing methods.

  • 5

    High diagnostic yield justifies OGM's routine use for refining treatment decisions.
