1. Solving Clinical Problems With Genomic Technologies
2. Genohype
3. Genomic Strengths BC has world-class genomic technology.
Physicians in BC are applying this technology to important clinical problems.
You can do this, too.
4. Genomic Strengths
5. Genomics Provides:
An inside-out approach that complements the standard outside-in approach to understanding disease
A way of looking at the entire genome as a whole rather than one gene at a time
6. Patient 1 Normal pregnancy and birth
Severe mental retardation
No speech
Seizures
Short stature
Asthenic habitus
Dysmorphic features
7. Patient 1 Normal chromosomes
Normal biochemical studies
Blood amino acids, lactate, ammonia, acylcarnitine profile, biotinidase, TFIF
Urine organic acids, MPS, oligosaccharides, purines and pyrimidines
MRI: Brain malformation
8. Family 1
9. Illumina SNP Typing Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms
1 every ~1200 bp (~5M/person)
> 6,200,000 validated SNPs
10. Illumina SNP Typing Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms
1 every ~1200 bp (~5M/person)
> 6,200,000 validated SNPs
11. Illumina SNP Typing allele-specific oligos coated on beads
1536 bead types
50,000 beads put into a well
96 well plate
12. Illumina SNP Typing
13. Illumina SNP Typing Linkage studies
Association studies
Case-control
Family-based
Epigenomics
14. Family 1
15. Family 1 Linkage narrows region to 4,900,000 bp
240 known genes with 866 exons
One mutation
16. Solexa Sequencing
17. Solexa Sequencing
18. Solexa Sequencing >1Gb of sequence per run
Applications:
DNA resequencing
genomic structural variation
metagenomics
RNA expression
epigenomics
19. Family 1
20. Family 1 1st Results
117 amplicons of ~8kb each
326 exons covered 100%
14 exons partially covered
21. Patient 2 February 2005: 10 y/o female presents at BCCH with abdominal mass
Biopsy confirmed diagnosis of neuroblastoma
Child began chemotherapy with protocol that includes doxorubicin
22. Patient 2 August 2005: Remission achieved, chemotherapy well tolerated
Prior to last cycle, child received routine CT scan
During scan developed ventricular tachycardia and cardiogenic shock
23. Patient 2 Child intubated, rushed to ICU
Echocardiogram showed marked cardiac dysfunction with virtually no cardiac output
24. Patient 2 August-September 2005: Child on ECMO, remained in ICU
Final chemotherapy cycle not given
Child remains in remission, on cardiac medication with limited physical activity
25. Anthracycline Cardiotoxicity Anthracyclines widely-used chemotherapeutic agents
breast cancer
leukemia
lymphoma
Neuroblastoma
Osteosarcoma
Wilm’s tumour
26. Anthracycline Cardiotoxicity 7-10% of patients severely affected
Up to 33% moderately affected
Dose-dependent, but some susceptible at very low doses
27. Anthracycline Cardiotoxicity Damage permanent – life-long disability
High mortality – up to 61%
Increased risk for children <15 yrs, esp. < 4 yrs
B.C. Children’s Hospital: 17.9% since Sept. 2006
28. Anthracycline Cardiotoxicity Why does one child with neuroblastoma treated with anthracyclines end up in the ICU with congestive heart failure, while another child treated with the same dose has no cardiac damage?
29. Illumina SNP Typing
30. Anthracycline Cardiotoxicity Case-Control Study
Target : 100 cases with anthracyline cardiotoxicity, 400 drug-matched controls
Current: 78 cases , 313 controls
31. Anthracycline Cardiotoxicity Key transporters of drug out of heart cells
Decreased activity
32. Anthracycline Cardiotoxicity Goal
1-hour bedside DNA cheek swab test for SNPs before treatment
If results show high risk for anthracycline cardiomyopathy, start chemotherapy with 25% dose
Result: patient survives cancer and treatment
33. Patient 3 Male, age 9.5, with severe language impairment and autistic features
Normal pregnancy and delivery
Normal growth
Asthma
34. Patient 3 Mild dorsal scoliosis
Vertebral fusions, 13th rib on left, bifid ribs
Normal head CT
Cytogenetics: Normal 46,XY
35. Array Genomic hybridization
36. Array Genomic hybridization Much higher resolution
37. Patient 3 ~320 kb deletion at Chr 2p16.3
38. Patient 3
39. Patient 3
40. NRXN1 Cell adhesion molecules and receptors in nervous system
Involved in synapse formation
Larger deletions of region associated with autism in previous studies
