[Genomic medicine. Polymorphisms and microarray applications].

This update shows new concepts related to the significance of DNA variations among individuals, as well as to their detection by using a new technology. The sequencing of the human genome is only the beginning of what will enable us to understand genetic diversity. The unit of DNA variability is the polymorphism of a single nucleotide (SNP). At present, studies on SNPs are restricted to basic research but the large number of papers on this subject makes feasible their entrance into clinical practice. We illustrate here the use of SNPs as molecular markers in ethnical genotyping, gene expression in some diseases and as potential targets in pharmacological response, and also introduce the technology of arrays. Microarrays experiments allow the quantification and comparison of gene expression on a large scale, at the same time, by using special chips and array designs. Conventional methods provide data from up to 20 genes, while a single microarray may provide information about thousands of them simultaneously, leading to a more rapid and accurate genotyping. Biotechnology improvements will facilitate our knowledge of each gene sequence, the frequency and exact location of SNPs and their influence on cellular behavior. Although experimental efficiency and validity of results from microarrays are still controversial, the knowledge and characterization of a patient's genetic profile will lead, undoubtedly, to advances in prevention, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of human diseases.

The use and evaluation of 2 + 2 photoaddition in immobilization of oligonucleotides on a three dimensional hydrogel matrix.

Photochemical attachment of synthetic oligonucleotides on the three dimensional surface of a polyacrylamide based hydrogel was used in the specific detection of target oligonucleotides. Covalent attachment of the oligonucleotide to the hydrogel was mediated by the incorporation of a 2 + 2 photo-attachable functional group in both the hydrogel and the oligonucleotide probe. Expression and SNP assays were used to evaluate this platform.

Detection of mitochondrial single nucleotide polymorphisms using a primer elongation reaction on oligonucleotide microarrays.

We have developed a novel allele-specific primer elongation protocol using a DNA polymerase on oligonucleotide chips. Oligonucleotide primers carrying polymorphic sites at their free 3'end were covalently bound to glass slides. The generation of single-stranded targets of genomic DNA containing single nuclotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to be typed was achieved by an asymmetric PCR reaction or exonuclease treatment of phosphothioate (PTO)-modified PCR products. In the presence of DNA polymerase and all four dNTPs, with Cy3-dUTP replacing dTTP, allele-specific extension of the immobilized primers took place along a stretch of target DNA sequence. The yield of elongated products was increased by repeated reaction cycles. We performed multiplexed assays with many small DNA targets, or used single targets of up to 4.4 kb mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence to detect multiple SNPs in one reaction. The latter approach greatly simplifies preamplification of SNP-containing regions, thereby providing a framework for typing hundreds of mtDNA polymorphisms.

Functionalized self-assembled monolayer on gold for detection of human mitochondrial tRNA gene mutations.

We developed a rapid and simple method to identify single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the human mitochondrial tRNA genes. This method is based on a universal, functionalized, self-assembled monolayer, XNA on Gold chip platform. A set of probes sharing a given allele-specific sequence with a single base substitution near the middle of the sequence was immobilized on chips and the chips were then hybridized with fluorescence-labeled reference targets produced by asymmetric polymerase chain reaction from patient DNA. The ratio of the hybridization signals from the reference and test targets with each probe was then calculated. A ratio of above 3 indicates the presence of a wild-type sequence and a ratio of below 0.3 indicates a mutant sequence. We tested the sensitivity of the chip for known mutations in tRNA(Leu(UUR)) and tRNA(Lys) genes and found that it can also be used to discriminate multiple mutations and heteroplasmy, two typical features of human mitochondrial DNA. The XNA on Gold biochip method is a simple and rapid microarray method that can be used to test rapidly and reliably any SNP in the mitochondrial genome or elsewhere. It will be particularly useful for detecting SNPs associated with human diseases.

SNP typing by apyrase-mediated allele-specific primer extension on DNA microarrays.

This study reports the development of a microarray-based allele-specific extension method for typing of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The use of allele-specific primers has been employed previously to identify single base variations but it is acknowledged that certain mismatches are not refractory to extension. Here we have overcome this limitation by introducing apyrase, a nucleotide-degrading enzyme, to the extension reaction. We have shown previously that DNA polymerases exhibit slower reaction kinetics when extending a mismatched primer compared with a matched primer. This kinetic difference is exploited in the apyrase-mediated allele-specific extension (AMASE) assay, allowing incorporation of nucleotides when the reaction kinetics are fast but degrading the nucleotides before extension when the reaction kinetics are slow. Here we show that five homozygous variants (14% of the total number of variants) that were incorrectly scored in the absence of apyrase were correctly typed when apyrase was included in the extension reaction. AMASE was performed in situ on the oligonucleotide microarrays using fluorescent nucleotides to type 10 SNPs and two indels in 17 individuals generating approximately 200 genotypes. Cluster analysis of these data shows three distinct clusters with clear-cut boundaries. We conclude that SNP typing on oligonucleotide microarrays by AMASE is an efficient, rapid and accurate technique for large-scale genotyping.

Linkage disequilibrium across two different single-nucleotide polymorphism genome scans.

Linkage disequilibrium (LD) content was calculated for the Genetic Analysis Workshop 14 Affymetrix and Illumina single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genome scans of the Collaborative Study on the Genetics of Alcoholism samples. Pair-wise LD was measured as both D' and r2 on 505 pedigree founder individuals. The r2 estimates were then used to correct the multipoint identity by descent matrix (MIBD) calculation to account for LD and LOD scores on chromosomes 3 and 18 were calculated for COGA's ttdt3 electrophysiological trait using those MIBDs. Extensive LD was observed throughout both marker sets, and it was higher in Affymetrix's more dense SNP map. However, SNP density did not solely account for Affymetrix's higher LD. MIBD estimation procedures assume linkage equilibrium to construct genotypes of non-genotyped pedigree founder individuals, and dense SNP genotyping maps are likely to contain moderate to high LD between markers. LOD score plots calculated after correction for LD followed the same general pattern as uncorrected ones. Since in our study almost half of the pedigree founders were genotyped, it is possible that LD had a minor impact on the LOD scores. Caution should probably be taken when using high density SNP maps when many non-genotyped founders are present in the study pedigrees.

Mapping of hereditary mixed polyposis syndrome (HMPS) to chromosome 10q23 by genomewide high-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) scan and identification of BMPR1A loss of function.

BACKGROUND: Hereditary mixed polyposis syndrome (HMPS) is characterised by colonic polyps of mixed histological types that are autosomal dominantly inherited and eventually lead to colorectal cancer (CRC). Study of the molecular basis of HMPS will enhance our knowledge of the genetic basis of the mixed polyposis-carcinoma sequence in both hereditary and sporadic CRC. METHODS/RESULTS: We performed a genomewide linkage search on 15 members of a three-generation HMPS family using the GeneChip Human Mapping 10K Array and identified a 7 cM putative linkage interval on chromosome 10q23. Subsequently, 32 members from two HMPS families were typed with nine microsatellite markers spanning the region and the linkage was confirmed with a maximum multi-point logarithm of the odds (LOD) score of 4.6 (p<0.001). The 10q23.1-10q23.31 haplotypes segregate with the disease in both families. We screened for mutations in four candidate genes within the linkage region and identified an 11 bp deletion in the bone morphogenesis protein receptor 1A (BMPR1A) gene in one family. CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate that BMPR1A mutation accounts for HMPS. The data suggest that inactivating BMPR1A can initiate colorectal tumourigenesis via the mixed polyposis-carcinoma sequence.

Primer-design for multiplexed genotyping.

Single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis is a powerful tool for mapping and diagnosing disease-related alleles. Mutation analysis by polymerase-mediated single-base primer extension (minisequencing) can be massively parallelized using DNA microchips or flow cytometry with microspheres as solid support. By adding a unique oligonucleotide tag to the 5' end of the minisequencing primer and attaching the complementary antitag to the array or bead surface, the assay can be 'demultiplexed'. Such high-throughput scoring of SNPs requires a high level of primer multiplexing in order to analyze multiple loci in one assay, thus enabling inexpensive and fast polymorphism scoring. We present a computer program to automate the design process for the assay. Oligonucleotide primers for the reaction are automatically selected by the software, a unique DNA tag/antitag system is generated, and the pairing of primers and DNA tags is automatically done in a way to avoid any crossreactivity. We report results on a 45-plex genotyping assay, indicating that minisequencing can be adapted to be a powerful tool for high-throughput, massively parallel genotyping. The software is available to academic users on request.

Quantitative genotyping of single-nucleotide polymorphisms by allele-specific oligonucleotide hybridization on DNA microarrays.

Genotyping of SNPs (single-nucleotide polymorphisms) has challenged the development of several novel techniques. Most of these methods have been introduced to discriminate binary SNPs in diploid species. In the present study, the quantitative genotyping of SNPs in natural DNA pools of a polyploid organism via DNA microarrays was analysed. Three randomly selected SNP loci were genotyped in the tetraploid species potato (Solanum tuberosum). For each SNP, 24 oligomers were designed, 12 with forward and 12 with reverse orientation. They contained the polymorphic site at one of the positions 11, 14 and 17. Several steps of optimizations were performed, including the 'materials' used and the establishment of hybridization conditions. Glass surfaces were either epoxy- or aldehyde-modified, and allele-specific oligonucleotides contained either SH or NH2 groups. Hybridization stringency conditions were established by varying the concentration of formamide in the hybridization buffer. For SNP BA213c14t7/403, the quantitative discrimination between all four different naturally occurring genotypes could be demonstrated.

A self-tuning method for one-chip SNP identification.

Current methods for interpreting oligonucleotide-based SNP-detection microarrays, SNP chips, are based on statistics and require extensive parameter tuning as well as extremely high-resolution images of the chip being processed. We present a method, based on a simple data-classification technique called nearest-neighbors that, on haploid organisms, produces results comparable to the published results of the leading statistical methods and requires very little in the way of parameter tuning. Furthermore, it can interpret SNP chips using lower-resolution scanners of the type more typically used in current microarray experiments. Along with our algorithm, we present the results of a SNP-detection experiment where, when independently applying this algorithm to six identical SARS SNP chips, we correctly identify all 24 SNPs in a particular strain of the SARS virus, with between 6 and 13 false positives across the six experiments.

SNPs, microarrays and pooled DNA: identification of four loci associated with mild mental impairment in a sample of 6000 children.

Mild mental impairment (MMI) represents the low extreme of the quantitative trait of general intelligence and is highly heritable. Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) conferring susceptibility to MMI, as for most complex traits, are likely to be of small effect size. Using a novel approach we call SNP-MaP (SNP Microarrays and Pooling), we have identified four loci associated with MMI. These four loci have been replicated in two SNP-MaP studies and verified by individual genotyping. The two SNP-MaP studies conducted were a case versus control comparison (n = 515 and n = 1028, respectively) and a low versus high general intelligence extremes group comparison (n = 503 and n = 505, respectively). Each of the four groups consisted of five independent 'subpools', with each subpool assayed on a separate microarray. Twelve loci showing the largest significant differences in both SNP-MaP studies were individually genotyped on 6154 children. Of the four loci positively associated with MMI, the minor allele of each conferred the greater risk for MMI. Two of the loci are close to known genes and may be in linkage disequilibrium with them. One of the loci is between the candidate genes KLF7 and CREB1, but given possible long-range effects on expression and the unknown importance of untranslated elements such as micro-RNAs, all four loci deserve attention as candidates. Although each SNP accounts for a small amount of variance, their effects are additive and they can be combined in a 'SNP set' that can be used as a genetic risk index for MMI in behavioral genomic analyses.

Haplotype analysis of the preprotachykinin-1 (TAC1) gene in multiple sclerosis.

The potential relevance of chromosome 7q21-22 in susceptibility to multiple sclerosis (MS) has been highlighted in genome-wide linkage screens as well as in association studies of 7q-specific polymorphic microsatellites. Especially, recent, independently performed studies have provided evidence for significant association of the markers D7S554 and D7S3126 with MS in Sardinian, Northern Irish and Spanish-American cohorts. The gene most closely located to these markers is the neuropeptide preprotachykinin-1 (TAC1) gene. Both its position and the array of biological functions exerted by its expression products make it a logical primary choice for further scrutiny as the putative chromosome 7q21-22 MS susceptibility gene. We report identification of eight polymorphisms in this gene by means of a sequencing approach. A Northern Irish case-control was typed for six of these polymorphisms. One of these, an intron 1 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), showed significant association with MS (P=0.009). Two-marker haplotypes composed of allelic combinations of TAC1 promoter-intron 1 SNPs were highly significantly associated with MS and more so with the relapsing-remitting form of this disease. While independent reproduction of these data in other data sets is indicated, our work is suggestive for a role of the TAC1 gene in MS.

Polymorphism ratio sequencing: a new approach for single nucleotide polymorphism discovery and genotyping.

Polymorphism ratio sequencing (PRS) combines the advantages of high-throughput DNA sequencing with new labeling and pooling schemes to produce a powerful assay for sensitive single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) discovery, rapid genotyping, and accurate, multiplexed allele frequency determination. In the PRS method, dideoxy-terminator extension ladders generated from a sample and reference template are labeled with different energy-transfer fluorescent dyes and coinjected into a separation capillary for comparison of relative signal intensities. We demonstrate the PRS method by screening two human mitochondrial genomes for sequence variations using a microfabricated capillary array electrophoresis device. A titration of multiplexed DNA samples places the limit of minor allele frequency detection at 5%. PRS is a sensitive and robust polymorphism detection method for the analysis of individual or multiplexed samples that is compatible with any four-color fluorescence DNA sequencer.

Single nucleotide polymorphism detection in aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) gene using bacterial magnetic particles based on dissociation curve analysis.

Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) detection for aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) gene based on DNA thermal dissociation curve analysis was successfully demonstrated using an automated system with bacterial magnetic particles (BMPs) by developing a new method for avoiding light scattering caused by nanometer-size particles when using commercially available fluorescent dyes such as FITC, Cy3, and Cy5 as labeling chromophores. Biotin-labeled PCR products in ALDH2, two allele-specific probes (Cy3-labeled detection probe for ALDH2*1 and Cy5-labeled detection probe for ALDH2*2), streptavidin-immobilized BMPs (SA-BMPs) were simultaneously mixed. The mixture was denatured at 70 degrees C for 3 min, cooled slowly to 25 degrees C, and incubated for 10 min, allowing the DNA duplex to form between Cy3- or Cy5-labeled detection probes and biotin-labeled PCR products on SA-BMPs. Then duplex DNA-BMP complex was heated to 58 degrees C, a temperature determined by dissociation curve analysis and a dissociated single-base mismatched detection probe was removed at the same temperature under precise control. Furthermore, fluorescence signal from the detection probe was liberated into the supernatant from completely matched duplex DNA-BMP complex by heating to 80 degrees C and measured. In the homozygote target DNA (ALDH2*1/*1 and ALDH2*2/*2), the fluorescence signals from single-base mismatched were decreased to background level, indicating that mismatched hybridization was efficiently removed by the washing process. In the heterozygote target DNA (ALDH2*1/*2), each fluorescence signals was at a similar level. Therefore, three genotypes of SNP in ALDH2 gene were detected using the automated detection system with BMPs.

A comprehensive survey of human Y-chromosomal microsatellites.

We have screened the nearly complete DNA sequence of the human Y chromosome for microsatellites (short tandem repeats) that meet the criteria of having a repeat-unit size of > or = 3 and a repeat count of > or = 8 and thus are likely to be easy to genotype accurately and to be polymorphic. Candidate loci were tested in silico for novelty and for probable Y specificity, and then they were tested experimentally to identify Y-specific loci and to assess their polymorphism. This yielded 166 useful new Y-chromosomal microsatellites, 139 of which were polymorphic, in a sample of eight diverse Y chromosomes representing eight Y-SNP haplogroups. This large sample of microsatellites, together with 28 previously known markers analyzed here--all sharing a common evolutionary history--allowed us to investigate the factors influencing their variation. For simple microsatellites, the average repeat count accounted for the highest proportion of repeat variance (approximately 34%). For complex microsatellites, the largest proportion of the variance (again, approximately 34%) was explained by the average repeat count of the longest homogeneous array, which normally is variable. In these complex microsatellites, the additional repeats outside the longest homogeneous array significantly increased the variance, but this was lower than the variance of a simple microsatellite with the same total repeat count. As a result of this work, a large number of new, highly polymorphic Y-chromosomal microsatellites are now available for population-genetic, evolutionary, genealogical, and forensic investigations.
