5 Advantages Advantages “Whole genome scan” “Whole genome scan” Relative low cost Relative low cost Disadvantages Disadvantages Labor intensive Labor intensive Detection above 5 Mb Detection above 5 Mb

6 FISH Methodology Www.nhgri.nih.gov./DIR/VIP (Artist Darryl Leja) Www.nhgri.nih.gov./DIR/VIP (Artist Darryl Leja)

11 FISH Analysis

12 To improve detection… G-banding alone is insufficient to identify clinically significant deletions/duplications G-banding alone is insufficient to identify clinically significant deletions/duplications Additional molecular cytogenetic technologies are needed that offer a whole genome approach to submicroscopic imbalances Additional molecular cytogenetic technologies are needed that offer a whole genome approach to submicroscopic imbalances

13 Array-based Comparative Genomic Hybridization Molecular cytogenetic method to detect copy number imbalances Molecular cytogenetic method to detect copy number imbalances Capable of genome wide scanning Capable of genome wide scanning Less labor intensive Less labor intensive Objective method compared to routine cytogenetic G-banding and FISH analysis Objective method compared to routine cytogenetic G-banding and FISH analysis

15 Methods Isolate Genomic DNA from samples Isolate Genomic DNA from samples DNA digestion DNA digestion Label patient and control samples Label patient and control samples Hybridize to microarray Hybridize to microarray Post hybridization washing Post hybridization washing Assay scanning and data analysis Assay scanning and data analysis

16 Array Design Resolution depends on clone size and spacing Resolution depends on clone size and spacing Only detect unbalanced rearrangements Only detect unbalanced rearrangements Creates a “molecular karyotype” Creates a “molecular karyotype”

17 Indications - Postnatal Multiple congenital anomalies Multiple congenital anomalies Developmental delay/ mental retardation of unknown origin Developmental delay/ mental retardation of unknown origin Autism Autism Any individual suspected of a chromosomal imbalance, even with normal karyotype Any individual suspected of a chromosomal imbalance, even with normal karyotype High resolution mapping to identify specific genes High resolution mapping to identify specific genes

18 Assay Requirements Each laboratory must define criteria for an abnormal result Each laboratory must define criteria for an abnormal result Confirmatory testing by G-banding or FISH analysis Confirmatory testing by G-banding or FISH analysis Parental testing often needed to interpret significance of results Parental testing often needed to interpret significance of results

20 Array Formats High Resolution 1-3 Mb spacing across the genome 1-3 Mb spacing across the genome 50 – 75 kb resolution 50 – 75 kb resolution Oligonucleotides used to cover the genome Oligonucleotides used to cover the genome Approximately 50,000 clones Approximately 50,000 clones Numerous polymorphisms identified Numerous polymorphisms identified

21 High Density Oligo CGH

22 Characterization of known cytogenetic rearrangements to determine size and gene content

23 Approximately 10% imbalances detected in individuals with normal karytoype

28 Definition of 11q Terminal Deletion Disorder Terminal Deletion in 11q Terminal Deletion in 11q Either sporadic (normal parents, 90-95%) or inherited (from a parent with a balanced translocation, 5-10%) Either sporadic (normal parents, 90-95%) or inherited (from a parent with a balanced translocation, 5-10%) Can be an Inte ial Deletion (very rare) Can be an Inte ial Deletion (very rare) NOT an noisrevnI NOT an noisrevnI NOT a Balanced Translocation/Balanced Translocation NOT a Balanced Translocation/Balanced Translocation NOT a Duplicaplication NOT a Duplicaplication

29 Balanced Translocation

30 Mechanisms of 11q- deletions Variation in deletion size Variation in deletion size All breakpoints cluster around CCG repeats All breakpoints cluster around CCG repeats The largest deletions are caused by CCG repeat expansion/Fra11B fragile site The largest deletions are caused by CCG repeat expansion/Fra11B fragile site Smaller deletions: Not associated with a fragile site Smaller deletions: Not associated with a fragile site All of the smallest deletions are derived from the paternal chromosome All of the smallest deletions are derived from the paternal chromosome
