Detection of nasopharyngeal carcinoma susceptibility with single nucleotide polymorphism analysis using next-generation sequencing technology.

ABSTRACT: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a head and neck cancer with high incidence in South China and East Asia. To provide a theoretical basis for NPC risk screening and early prevention, we conducted a meta-analysis of relevant literature on the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP)s with NPC susceptibility. Further, expression of 15 candidate SNPs identified in the meta-analysis was evaluated in a cohort of NPC patients and healthy volunteers using next-generation sequencing technology. Among the 15 SNPs detected in the meta-analysis, miR-146a (rs2910164, C>G), HCG9 (rs3869062, A>G), HCG9 (rs16896923, T>C), MMP2 (rs243865, C>T), GABBR1 (rs2076483, T>C), and TP53 (rs1042522, C>G) were associated with decreased susceptibility to NPC, while GSTM1 (+/DEL), IL-10 (rs1800896, A>G), MDM2 (rs2279744, T>G), MDS1-EVI1 (rs6774494, G>A), XPC (rs2228000, C>T), HLA-F (rs3129055, T>C), SPLUNC1 (rs2752903, T>C; and rs750064, A>G), and GABBR1 (rs29232, G>A) were associated with increased susceptibility to NPC. In our case-control study, an association with increased risk for NPC was found for the AG vs AA genotype in HCG9 (rs3869062, A>G). In addition, heterozygous deletion of the GSTM1 allele was associated with increased susceptibility to NPC, while an SNP in GABBR1 (rs29232, G>A) was associated with decreased risk, and might thus have a protective role on NPC carcinogenesis. This work provides the first comprehensive assessment of SNP expression and its relationship to NPC risk. It suggests the need for well-designed, larger confirmatory studies to validate its findings.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Genetic information based on molecular markers has increasingly being used in cattle breeding improvement programmes, as a mean to improve conventionally phenotypic selection. Advances in molecular genetics have led to the identification of several genetic markers associated with genes affecting economic traits. Until recently, the identification of the causative genetic variants involved in the phenotypes of interest has remained a difficult task. The advent of novel sequencing technologies now offers a new opportunity for the identification of such variants. Despite sequencing costs plummeting, sequencing whole-genomes or large targeted regions is still too expensive for most laboratories. A transcriptomic-based sequencing approach offers a cheaper alternative to identify a large number of polymorphisms and possibly to discover causative variants. In the present study, we performed a gene-based single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) discovery analysis in bovine Longissimus thoraci, using RNA-Seq. To our knowledge, this represents the first study done in bovine muscle. RESULTS: Messenger RNAs from Longissimus thoraci from three Limousin bull calves were subjected to high-throughput sequencing. Approximately 36-46 million paired-end reads were obtained per library. A total of 19,752 transcripts were identified and 34,376 different SNPs were detected. Fifty-five percent of the SNPs were found in coding regions and ~22% resulted in an amino acid change. Applying a very stringent SNP quality threshold, we detected 8,407 different high-confidence SNPs, 18% of which are non synonymous coding SNPs. To analyse the accuracy of RNA-Seq technology for SNP detection, 48 SNPs were selected for validation by genotyping. No discrepancies were observed when using the highest SNP probability threshold. To test the usefulness of the identified SNPs, the 48 selected SNPs were assessed by genotyping 93 bovine samples, representing mostly the nine major breeds used in France. Principal component analysis indicates a clear separation between the nine populations. CONCLUSIONS: The RNA-Seq data and the collection of newly discovered coding SNPs improve the genomic resources available for cattle, especially for beef breeds. The large amount of variation present in genes expressed in Limousin Longissimus thoracis, especially the large number of non synonymous coding SNPs, may prove useful to study the mechanisms underlying the genetic variability of meat quality traits.

Project description:BackgroundIn preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A), appropriate evaluation of mosaic embryos is important because of the adverse implications of transferring embryos with high-level mosaicism or discarding those with low-level mosaicism. Despite the availability of multiple reliable techniques for PGT-A, data comparing the detection of mosaicism using these techniques are scarce. To address this gap in the literature, we compared the detection ability of the two most commonly used PGT-A platforms, next-generation sequencing (NGS) and the single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array, for mosaic embryos.ResultsWe retrospectively reviewed the data of PGT-A or preimplantation genetic testing for chromosomal structural rearrangements (PGT-SR) conducted at our center from January 2018 to October 2020, and selected blastocysts that underwent aneuploidy screening with both an SNP array and NGS. Trophectoderm biopsy, multiple displacement amplification (MDA), and aneuploidy screening with an SNP array were conducted on the enrolled blastocysts. When the SNP array indicated mosaicism, NGS was performed on the corresponding MDA product for verification. Among the 105 blastocysts diagnosed with mosaicism with the SNP array, 80 (76.19%) showed mosaicism in NGS, with complete and partial concordance rates of 47.62% (50/105) and 18.10% (19/105), respectively. The complete discordance rate of the two platforms was 34.29% (36/105). That is, 10.48% (11/105) of the blastocysts were diagnosed with completely different types of mosaicism with the two platforms, while 13.33% (14/105) and 10.48% (11/105) of the embryos diagnosed as showing mosaicism with SNP were detected as showing aneuploidy and euploidy with NGS, respectively.ConclusionsThe consistency of NGS and the SNP array in the diagnosis of embryo mosaicism is extremely low, indicating the need for larger and well-designed studies to determine which platform is more accurate in detecting mosaic embryos.
