Project description:Clinical laboratories are adopting array comparative genomic hybridization (AGH) as a standard clinical test. A number of whole genome AGH systems are available, but little is known about the comparative performance in a clinical context. We prospectively studied 30 children with idiopathic MR and both unaffected parents of each child using Affymetrix 500K GeneChip SNP arrays, Agilent Human Genome 244K oligonucleotide arrays and NimbleGen 385K Whole-Genome oligonucleotide arrays. We determined whether CNVs called on these platforms were detected by Illumina Hap550 beadchips or SMRT 32K BAC whole genome tiling arrays and tested 15 of the 30 trios on Affymetrix 6.0 SNP array. The Affymetrix 500K, Agilent and NimbleGen platforms identified 3061 autosomal and 117 X chromosome CNVs in 30 trios. 147 of these CNVs were de novo, but only 33 (22%) of the de novo CNVs were found on more than one platform. Performing genotype-phenotype correlations, we identified 7 pathogenic and 4 possibly pathogenic CNVs for MR. All 11 of these CNVs were detected by both the Agilent and NimbleGen arrays, 9 by the Affymetrix 500K and Illumina beadchips, and 5 by the SMRT BAC array. Two of the 4 pathogenic or possibly pathogenic CNVs present in the trios tested with the Affymetrix 6.0 array were identified. Our findings demonstrate that different results are obtained with different AGH platforms and illustrate the trade-off that exists between sensitivity and specificity. The large number of apparently false positive CNV calls supports the need for validating clinically important findings with a different methodology. 15 trios were analysed consisting of child (proband) and both normal parents. We performed separate hybridizations for the mother, father, and child and then performed pair-wise comparisons of the normalized hybridization intensities for the child to the mother and of the child to the father in silico.

Project description:Fetal health is dependent upon the epigenetic-based regulation of gene expression in placenta. Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon common to placenta and refers to the monoallelic expression of a gene in a parental-specific manner. We aimed to detect novel imprinted genes in human placenta by applying whole transcriptome RNA-sequencing and genotyping of coding variants. Ten family trios with healthy spontaneous single term pregnancy were recruited. Parental and child DNA genotypes were analysed using exome SNP genotyping microarrays, revealing the inheritance of parental alleles. Total RNA was extracted from placental tissue for whole transcriptome analysis. The imprinted genes showed consistent expression from either parental allele as demonstrated by the SNP content of sequenced transcripts. We found seven novel imprinted genes (ABP1, BCLAF1, IFI30, LGALS8, LGALS14, PAPPA2 and SPTLC3) and confirmed five known imprinted genes (AIM1, PEG10, RHOBTB3, ZFAT and ZFAT-AS1). The main functions of the proteins encoded by the imprinted genes can be grouped as being involved in: i) cellular apoptosis and tissue development; ii) regulating inflammation and modulating the immune system; iii) facilitating metabolic processes and iv) regulating the cell cycle. Ten family trios (mother, father, child) were analysed using SNP genotyping. Raw data contains additional two samples that were not used.

Project description:Preterm birth is the major cause of newborn and infant mortality affecting nearly one in every ten live births. This study was designed to develop an epigenetic biomarker for susceptibility of preterm birth using buccal cells from the mother, father, and child (triads). MeDIP-seq was used to identify differential DNA methylation regions (DMRs) using a comparison of control term birth versus preterm birth triads. Epigenetic DMR associations with preterm birth were identified for both the mother and father that were distinct and suggest potential epigenetic contributions from both parents. The mother (165 DMRs) and female child (136 DMRs) at p<1e-04 had the highest number of DMRs and were highly similar suggesting potential epigenetic inheritance of the epimutations. The male child had negligible DMR associations. The DMR associated genes for each group involve previously identified preterm birth associated genes.

Project description:We designed a microarray to test at exonic resolution for genomic imbalance for genes representative of all known chromosomal microdeletion/microduplication syndromes, all known causative genes for ID, all known genes encoding glutamate receptors and their known encoding proteins and all known genes encoding proteins with epigenetic regulatory function. We found 36 de novo copy number variants affecting 35 children in this study. 167 trios, each comprising an affected child and both its normal parents were analyzed by conducting two comparative hybridizations; child vs. mother and child vs. father, and only selecting a CNV if it appeared in both hybridizations, i.e., was de novo. De novo CNVs were independantly validated using quantitative PCR.

Project description:The cause of mental retardation in one-third to one-half of all affected individuals is unknown. Microscopically-detectable chromosomal abnormalities are the most frequent recognized cause, but gain or loss of chromosomal segments that are too small to be seen by conventional cytogenetic analysis has been found to be another important cause. Array-based methods offer a practical means of performing a high-resolution survey of the entire genome for submicroscopic copy number variants. We studied 100 children with idiopathic mental retardation and their parents using the Affymetrix GeneChip® Mapping 100K Assay and found de novo duplications as small as 1.1 Mb in three cases, de novo deletions as small as 178 kb in eight cases, and unsuspected mosaic trisomy 9 in another case. This technology can detect at least twice as many potentially pathogenic de novo copy number variants as conventional cytogenetic analysis in people with mental retardation. Experiment Overall Design: Using the Affymetrix GeneChip® Mapping 100K Assay we studied 100 trios that each included one child with idiopathic mental retardation (MR) and both of his/her unaffected biological parents. We also tested 10 unaffected siblings of the MR children from 10 of the above families. In addition, we analyzed 7 trios (child and both unaffected biological parents) as positive controls with previously identified chromosomal aberrations. Experiment Overall Design: Within each sample ID the four digit number refers to a family. Following this four digit family number, 'c' indicates child with MR, 'm' means unaffected mother, 'f' means unaffected father and 's' means unaffected sibling.

Project description:Given the possible critical importance of placental gene imprinting and random monoallelic expression on fetal and infant health, most of those genes must be identified, in order to understand the risks that the baby might meet during pregnancy and after birth. Therefore, the aim of the current study was to introduce a workflow and tools for analyzing imprinted and random monoallelic gene expression in human placenta, by applying whole-transcriptome (WT) RNA sequencing of placental tissue and genotyping of coding DNA variants in family trios. Ten family trios, each with a healthy spontaneous single-term pregnancy, were recruited. Total RNA was extracted for WT analysis, providing the full sequence information for the placental transcriptome. Parental and child blood DNA genotypes were analyzed by exome SNP genotyping microarrays, mapping the inheritance and estimating the abundance of parental expressed alleles. Imprinted genes showed consistent expression from either parental allele, as demonstrated by the SNP content of sequenced transcripts, while monoallelically expressed genes had random activity of parental alleles. We revealed 4 novel possible imprinted genes (LGALS8, LGALS14, PAPPA2 and SPTLC3) and confirmed the imprinting of 4 genes (AIM1, PEG10, RHOBTB3 and ZFAT-AS1) in human placenta. The major finding was the identification of 4 genes (ABP1, BCLAF1, IFI30 and ZFAT) with random allelic bias, expressing one of the parental alleles preferentially. The main functions of the imprinted and monoallelically expressed genes included: i) mediating cellular apoptosis and tissue development; ii) regulating inflammation and immune system; iii) facilitating metabolic processes; and iv) regulating cell cycle. Placentas from ten family trios were analysed using RNA-Seq.

Project description:This is array CGH data of recurrent 17q21.31 deletions used to delineate breakpoints within segmental duplications in a study by Itsara et al. Somatic cell hybrids were generated from three parent-child trios probands with 17q21.31 deletions and three 17q21.31 probands for which no parental DNA was available that isolated individual chromosome 17 homologues. In parents, this isolated the H2 from the H1 haplotypes in distinct cell lines, and in probands, isolated the deletion-bearing chromosomes from the unaffected chromosome 17. In parent-child trios, the deletion-bearing chromosomes were hybridized against the progenitor parental chromosome. In probands with no parental DNA, the deletion-bearing chromosomes were hybridized against an H2 chromosome.
