Project description:Table of gene-level RNA counts from 21 newborn screening dried blood spot (DBS) samples. These DBS samples were obtained from extremely low gestional age newborns, where 10 of them were affected by a fetal inflammatory response (FIR) before birth, and 11 were unaffected. Total RNA was sequenced using an Illumina NextSeq-500 instrument. The sample preparation protocol included the depletion of rRNA and globin mRNA using the Globin Zero Gold rRNA Removal Kit from Illumina. Libraries were prepared using the NebNext Ultra TM II Directionl RNA LIbrary Prep Kit (New England Biolabs). Rows correspond to genes and columns to samples, where there is an additional column (BS13sub), corresponding to sample BS13, which was downsampled to 1/4 of its original depth.

Project description:Background: Standard Guthrie cards have been widely used to collect blood samples from neonates for newborn screening programs, and to a lesser extent, from normal controls and patients in research studies. Ease of blood collection (small quantity and less pain), transportation, and storage are the advantages of using these cards. It is believed that RNA obtained from these samples is of low quantity and degraded quality. However, we recently discovered that approximately 3,500 expressed genes can be detected from blood spot samples using in-house made, low resolution cDNA microarrays. Here, we established a new and improved methodology to acquire gene expression profiles from blood spot cards using commercially-available high resolution microarrays. We determined the optimal number of blood spot punches required for maximal RNA extraction, eliminated uses of trizol and chloroform for RNA extraction by using a modified protocol of the illustra Mini Spin Kit from GE-Whatm an, concentrated the quantity of RNA templates before amplification, improved amplification efficiency using the new Ribo-SPIA technology in WT-Ovation Pico System (WT-Pico) by NuGEN, before the samples were hybridized onto 4x44K whole human genome gene expression microarrays from Agilent. Nine dried blood spot samples were collected from a control population and stored at ~ -80 °C between 6 months to 2 years. High quality RNA was extracted from the buffy coat of the same individuals as a reference and processed using the standard Agilent microarray procedure. Commercially-available brain RNA was used as a positive control in both standard and new procedures for microarrays. Results: Three 3-mm punches produced the highest yield of total RNA using the non-trizol extraction method. Three to six nanogram per microliter of RNA can be concentrated and is sufficient to be amplified using the WT-Pico. Approximately 9,000 expressed genes can be detected after normalization and background correction of the microarray data. Conclusion: Genome-wide gene expression profile can be obtained from archived dried blood spot samples. Our new and improved methodology will add value to the perception of utilizing archival Guthrie cards eg. neonatal blood spot cards as unique biospecimens for molecular genomics and diagnostic studies of perinatal diseases such as pediatric cancers.

Project description:Newborn screening (NBS) is a global initiative of systematic testing at birth to identify babies with pre-defined severe but treatable conditions. With a simple blood test, rare genetic conditions can be easily detected, and the early start of transformative treatment will help avoid severe disabilities and increase the quality of life.
Baby Detect Project is an innovative NBS program using a panel of target sequencing that aims to identify 126 treatable severe early onset genetic diseases at birth caused by 361 genes. The list of diseases has been established in close collaboration with the Paediatricians of the University Hospital in Liege. The investigators use dedicated dried blood spots collected between the first day and 28 days of life of babies, after a consent sign by parents.

Project description:The main purpose of the study is to compare the acceptance and viability of three strategies aimed to screen hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in a birth cohort by: a) invitation letter offering HCV screening with dried blood spot (DBS) testing at the primary care center, b) invitation letter offering both HCV and colorectal cancer (CCR) screening with faecal occult test (FOT) at the primary care center, and c) invitation letter offering self-collected screening at home for HCV and CCR.
