A single-strand conformation polymorphism method for the large-scale analysis of mutations/polymorphisms using capillary array electrophoresis.

We present a high-throughput single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) method, performed on a commercially available capillary array DNA sequencer. We tested various sieving matrices and electrophoretic conditions, using 51 DNA fragments which included 45 fragments carrying only one single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), 4 fragments having two SNPs and 2 fragments with insertion or deletion. Resolution of alleles was improved by increasing concentrations of both sieving matrices and buffers, and all examined polymorphisms of DNA fragments were detected, most of them (45 fragments) as clearly split allele peaks in heterozygotes. Allele frequencies of SNPs can be estimated accurately by determining the relative amounts of alleles in pooled DNA. In this method, the turn-around time for the analysis of 96 samples is less than 3 h. These results demonstrate that capillary array-based SSCP is an efficient and accurate technique for the large-scale quantitative analysis of mutations/polymorphisms.

Unravelling genetic data by arrayed primer extension.

We have developed a method for arrayed primer extension (APEX) on an oligonucleotide microchip together with the 4-color fluoresence imaging equipment and supporting software, that allows analysis of the DNA sequence and changes in it. Mutation analysis of BRCA1 gene and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) chip for genotyping were used as a model system. Chip surface chemistry, template preparation and APEX reaction conditions were optimised and the assay is ready to be implemented in variety of DNA analysis from SNP testing to DNA resequencing.

Localization of candidate regions for a novel gene for Kartagener syndrome.

Asymmetric positioning of internal organs is a characteristics of vertebrates. The normal left-right anatomic positioning, situs solitus, sometimes does not occur normaly, leading to laterality defects. Studies in animal models have shown that laterality decisions are mediated by a cascade of genes that lead to the asymmetric expression of Nodal, LEFTA, LEFTB and PITX2 in the lateral plate mesoderm. A search for mutations in genes implicated in left-right patterning in animal models allowed genes associated with heterotaxia defects in humans to be identified. However, these genes explain only a small percentage of human situs defects, suggesting that other genes must play a role. In this study, we report a consanguineous family of Turkish origin, composed of two unaffected parents and three children, two of whom presented Kartagener syndrome. On the basis of their family history, we hypothesize autosomal recessive mode of inheritance. A genotype analysis with polymorphic markers did not show linkage with any known genes or loci causing laterality disorders. Array CGH did not detect a duplication or microdeletion greater than 1 Mb as a possible cause. Genome wide screening using 10 K Affymetrix SNP chips was performed, allowing the identification of two regions of autozygosity, one in chromosome 1 and the other on chromosome 7. In the chromosome 1 locus, a strong candidate gene, encoding the kinesin-associated protein 3 (KIF3AP) was not mutated, based on SSCP/heteroduplex analysis and direct sequencing. These data provide a basis for the identification of a novel gene implicated in Kartagener syndrome.

Direct transduction of allele-specific primer extension into electrical signal using genetic field effect transistor.

We have developed a genetic field effect transistor (FET) for single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping, which is based on potentiometric detection of molecular recognition on the gate insulator. Here, we report direct transduction of allele-specific primer extension on the gate surface into electrical signal using the genetic FETs. This method is based on detection of intrinsic negative charges of polynucleotide synthesized by DNA polymerase. The charge density change at the gate surface could be monitored during primer extension reaction. Moreover, three different genotypes could be successfully distinguished without any labeling for target DNA by the use of the genetic FET in combination with allele-specific primer extension. The platform based on the genetic FETs is suitable for a simple, accurate and inexpensive system for SNP genotyping in clinical diagnostics.

Gene expression and association analyses of LIM (PDLIM5) in bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.

We previously reported that expression level of LIM (ENH, PDLIM5) was significantly and commonly increased in the brains of patients with bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and major depression. Expression of LIM was decreased in the lymphoblastoid cells derived from patients with bipolar disorders and schizophrenia. LIM protein reportedly plays an important role in linking protein kinase C with calcium channel. These findings suggested the role of LIM in the pathophysiology of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. To further investigate the role of LIM in these mental disorders, we performed a replication study of gene expression analysis and performed genetic association studies. Upregulation of LIM was confirmed in the independent sample set obtained from Stanley Array Collection. No effect of sample pH or medication was observed. Genetic association study revealed the association of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)1 (rs10008257) with bipolar disorder. In an independent sample set, SNP2 (rs2433320) close to SNP1 was associated with bipolar disorder. In total samples, haplotype of these two SNPs was associated with bipolar disorder. No association was observed in case-control analysis and family-based association analysis in schizophrenia. These results suggest that SNPs in the upstream region of LIM may confer the genetic risk for bipolar disorder.

The search for low-penetrance cancer susceptibility alleles.

Much of the familial aggregation of common cancer results from inherited susceptibility, but highly penetrant mutations in known genes cannot account for most of the excess. Some of the unexplained familial risk is presumably due to high-penetrance mutations in as yet unidentified genes, but polygenic mechanisms are likely to account for a greater proportion, particularly in breast cancer. This inference, coupled with technological developments, has led to a renaissance in association studies. Most such studies have evaluated small numbers of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a few candidate genes, but reliable high-density oligonucleotide arrays and other novel techniques will allow genome-wide allelic association studies to be conducted. High-density genome-wide SNP analysis will include targets identified by structural considerations, as well as the growing list of candidate genes. In the longer term, high-throughput re-sequencing will be required to identify the rare pathogenic variants that may constitute the majority of low-penetrance alleles. The detection of low-penetrance cancer susceptibility genes will then be restricted mainly by the availability of large numbers of well-characterized cases and controls. Cancer patients with affected relatives are considerably more informative than unselected cases for such studies.

Active microeletronic chip devices which utilize controlled electrophoretic fields for multiplex DNA hybridization and other genomic applications.

Microelectronic DNA chip devices that contain planar arrays of microelectrodes have been developed for multiplex DNA hybridization and a variety of genomic research and DNA diagnostic applications. These devices are able to produce almost any desired electric field configuration on their surface. This ability to produce well-defined electric fields allows charged molecules (DNA, RNA, proteins, enzymes, antibodies, nanobeads, and even micron scale semiconductor devices) to be electrophoretically transported to or from any microlocation on the planar surface of the device. Of key importance to the device function is the permeation layer which overcoats the microelectrodes. The permeation layer is generally a porous hydrogel material that allows water molecules and small ions (Na+, CI-, etc.) to freely contact the microelectrode surface, but impedes the transport of the larger analytes (oligonucleotides, DNA, RNA, proteins, etc.). The permeation layer prevents the destruction of DNA at the active microelectrode surface, ameliorates the adverse effects of electrolysis products on the sensitive hybridization reactions, and serves as a porous support structure for attaching DNA probes and other molecules to the array. In order to maintain rapid transport of DNA molecules, facilitate hybridization, and work within constrained current and voltage ranges, low conductance buffers and various electronic pulsing scenarios have also been developed. These active microelectronic array devices allow electrophoretic fields to be used to carry out accelerated DNA hybridization reactions and to improve selectivity for single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), short tandem repeat (STR), and point mutation analysis.

A novel method for determining linkage between DNA sequences: hybridization to paired probe arrays.

Cooperative hybridization has been used to establish physical linkage between two loci on a DNA strand. Linkage was detected by hybridization to a new type of high-density oligonucleotide array. Each synthesis location on the array contains a mixture of two different probe sequences. Each of the two probes can hybridize independently to a different target sequence, but if the two target sequences are physically linked there is a cooperative increase in hybridization yield. The ability to create and control non-linear effects raises a host of possibilities for applications of oligonucleotide array hybridization. The method has been used to assign linkage in 50:50 mixtures of DNA containing single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) separated by 17, 693, 1350 and 2038 bp and to reconstruct haplotypes. Other potential uses include increasing the specificity of hybridization in mutation detection and gene expression monitoring applications, determining SNP haplotypes, characterizing repetitive sequences, such as short tandem repeats, and aiding contig assembly in sequen-cing by hybridization.

Enhancing linkage analysis of complex disorders: an evaluation of high-density genotyping.

To explore the potential value of recently developed high-density linkage mapping methods in the analysis of complex disease we have regenotyped five nuclear families first studied in the 1996 UK multiple sclerosis linkage genome screen, using Applied Biosystems high-density microsatellite linkage mapping set, the Illumina BeadArray linkage mapping panel (version 3) and the Affymetrix GeneChip Human Mapping 10K array. We found that genotyping success, information extraction and genotyping accuracy were improved with all systems. These improvements were particularly marked with the SNP-based methods (Illumina and Affymetrix), with little difference between these. The extent of additional information extracted is considerable, indicating that reanalysis of existing multiplex families using these newer systems would substantially increase power.

An efficient procedure for genotyping single nucleotide polymorphisms.

Analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) has been and will be increasingly utilized in various genetic disciplines, particularly in studying genetic determinants of complex diseases. Such studies will be facilitated by rapid, simple, low cost and high throughput methodologies for SNP genotyping. One such method is reported here, named tetra-primer ARMS-PCR, which employs two primer pairs to amplify, respectively, the two different alleles of a SNP in a single PCR reaction. A computer program for designing primers was developed. Tetra-primer ARMS-PCR was combined with microplate array diagonal gel electrophoresis, gaining the advantage of high throughput for gel-based resolution of tetra-primer ARMS-PCR products. The technique was applied to analyse a number of SNPs and the results were completely consistent with those from an independent method, restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis.

Characteristics of replicated single-nucleotide polymorphism genotypes from COGA: Affymetrix and Center for Inherited Disease Research.

Genetic Analysis Workshop 14 provided re-genotyped single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data. Specifically, both Center for Inherited Disease Research (CIDR) and Affymetrix genotyped the same 11,560 SNPs from the Affymetrix GeneChip Mapping 10K Array marker set on the same 184 individuals from the Collaborative Study on the Genetics of Alcoholism database. While the inconsistency rate between CIDR and Affymetrix (two different genotypes for the same subject) was low (0.2%), the non-replication rate (two different genotypes for the same subject or one identified genotype and one missing genotype) was substantial (9.5%). The missing data could be from no-call regions, which is inconsistent with recent recommendations about the use of no-call regions in association tests. In addition, no-call regions would suggest that the actual inconsistency rate is higher than reported. A high inconsistency rate has significant impact on power in related hypothesis tests. In addition, the data are consistent with assumptions made in a recently proposed likelihood ratio test of association for re-genotyped data.

Determination of ancestral alleles for human single-nucleotide polymorphisms using high-density oligonucleotide arrays.

Here we report the application of high-density oligonucleotide array (DNA chip)-based analysis to determine the distant history of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in current human populations. We analysed orthologues for 397 human SNP sites (identified in CEPH pedigrees from Amish, Venezuelan and Utah populations) from 23 common chimpanzee, 19 pygmy chimpanzee and 11 gorilla genomic DNA samples. From this data we determined 214 proposed ancestral alleles (the sequence found in the last common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees). In a diverse human population set, we found that SNP alleles with higher frequencies were more likely to be ancestral than less frequently occurring alleles. There were, however, exceptions. We also found three shared human/pygmy chimpanzee polymorphisms, all involving CpG dinucleotides, and two shared human/gorilla polymorphisms, one involving a CpG dinucleotide. We demonstrate that microarray-based assays allow rapid comparative sequence analysis of intra- and interspecies genetic variation.

Multiplex SNP typing by bioluminometric assay coupled with terminator incorporation (BATI).

A multiplex single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) typing platform using 'bioluminometric assay coupled with terminator [2',3'-dideoxynucleoside triphosphates (ddNTPs)] incorporation' (named 'BATI' for short) was developed. All of the reactions are carried out in a single reaction chamber containing target DNAs, DNA polymerase, reagents necessary for converting PPi into ATP and reagents for luciferase reaction. Each of the four ddNTPs is dispensed into the reaction chamber in turn. PPi is released by a nucleotide incorporation reaction and is used to produce ATP when the ddNTP dispensed is complementary to the base in a template. The ATP is used in a luciferase reaction to release visible light. Only 1 nt is incorporated into a template at a time because ddNTPs do not have a 3' hydroxyl group. This feature greatly simplifies a sequencing spectrum. The luminescence is proportional to the amount of template incorporated. Only one peak appears in the spectrum of a homozygote sample, and two peaks at the same intensity appear for a heterozygote sample. In comparison with pyrosequencing using dNTP, the spectrum obtained by BATI is very simple, and it is very easy to determine SNPs accurately from it. As only one base is extended at a time and the extension signals are quantitative, the observed spectrum pattern is uniquely determined even for a sample containing multiplex SNPs. We have successfully used BATI to type various samples containing plural target sequence areas. The measurements can be carried out with an inexpensive and small luminometer using a photodiode array as the detector. It takes only a few minutes to determine multiplex SNPs. These results indicate that this novel multiplexed approach can significantly decrease the cost of SNP typing and increase the typing throughput with an inexpensive and small luminometer.

Germline copy number polymorphisms involving larger than 100 kb are uncommon in normal subjects.

BACKGROUND: Recent studies using ROMA and Array-CGH suggest that germline copy number polymorphisms (CNPs) involving >100 kb are common in humans. METHODS: In this study, we used the Affymetrix GeneChip 100K single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) mapping panel to further examine the type and frequency of germline CNPs in the genome. By utilizing the allele intensity data generated while genotyping approximately 116,000 SNPs among 23 subjects from 4 families, we were able to detect multiple CNPs. RESULTS: However, in contrast to several previous studies, we found that CNPs >100 kb are rare in the genome but CNPs involving 100s-1,000s of base pairs are more common. CONCLUSIONS: We have demonstrated the utility of this approach, which has an important advantage over other methods because it is able to simultaneously assess both CNPs and SNPs, and therefore has great potential in genetic association studies of common diseases.

Accuracy of genotyping for single nucleotide polymorphisms by a microarray-based single nucleotide polymorphism typing method involving hybridization of short allele-specific oligonucleotides.

Advances in technologies for identifying genetic polymorphisms rapidly and accurately will dramatically accelerate the discovery of disease-related genes. Among a variety of newly described methods for rapid typing of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), gene detection using DNA microarrays is gradually achieving widespread use. This method involves the use of short (11- to 13-mer) allele-specific oligonucleotides. This method allows simultaneous analysis of many SNPs in DNAs from a large number of individuals, in a single experiment. In this work, we evaluated the accuracy of a new microarray-based short allele-specific oligonucleotide (ASO) hybridization method. There is a 96-well formatted array on a single plate, in which up to 256 spots are included in each well. Fluorescent probes for our experiments were produced by multiplex PCR amplification often target SNP-containing regions. We genotyped 192 individuals across a panel of ten single base variations, which included an insertion/deletion polymorphism. For comparison, we genotyped the same individuals for the same SNPs by the method of single-base extension with fluorescence detection. The typing accuracies of the microarray-based PCR-ASO and single-base extension methods were calculated as 99.9% and 99.1%, respectively, on the basis of genotyping results determined by direct sequencing. We conclude that the microarray-based hybridization method using short ASO probes represents a potential breakthrough technology for typing large numbers of SNPs rapidly and efficiently.

New developments in high-throughput resequencing and variation detection using high density microarrays.

We developed a high-throughput method for resequencing for single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) discovery using high-density microarrays. Over the two-year course of this study a number of improvements in sample preparation methods, hybridization assay, array handling, and analysis method were developed and implemented. DNA from 40 unrelated individuals of three different ethnic origins was amplified, labeled, and hybridized to arrays designed with probes representing genomic, coding, and regulatory regions. Protocol improvements including the use of long PCR and semi-automation reduced labeling and fragmentation costs by 33%. Automation improvements include the development of a scanner autoloader for arrays, a faster array wash station, and a linked laboratory tracking and data management system. Validation of a smaller feature size, 20 x 24 microns, allowed the simultaneous screening of 30-kb sense and 30-kb antisense DNA on each microarray, increasing throughput to 1.4 Mb per day per two laboratory personnel. More than 15,000 SNPs were identified in 8.3 Mb of the human genome using high-density resequencing and variation detection arrays (microarrays).
