Event Summary

Nabsys, a pioneer in electronic genome mapping (EGM) technology, announced a collaboration with Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC) to utilize Nabsys' OhmX Platform and an EGM-based assay in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) research. This partnership aims to accelerate the evaluation and validation of the assay, which is designed to provide D4Z4 repeat counting and resolution, haplotype discrimination, and related recombination events, addressing limitations of current diagnostic methods. Additionally, Nabsys presented data at the European Society of Human Genetics (ESHG) 2026 Annual Meeting, demonstrating the OhmX Platform's integration with CRISPR to improve detection and resolution of challenging repeat expansions, including those related to Fragile X syndrome and Friedreich's ataxia. This technology offers a more practical and scalable solution for genomic analysis.
