Title: Affymetrix CytoScan HD array

Affymetrix CytoScan HD array

CytoScan HD vs current array

• Current array (CGH based)
• patient reference DNA required (two color)
• utilizes Cy dyes ozone sensitive
• copy number probes only (135 K)
• CytoScan HD array (not CGH based)
• patient DNA only (single color)
• in silico reference based on gt300 normal
  individuals and cell lines
• utilizes phycoerythrin not ozone sensitive
• copy number probes (1.9 million) SNP (750 K)

3
Coverage

• Average marker spacing
• ISCA genes 384 bp
• OMIM genes 659 bp
• X chromosome OMIM genes 486 bp
• RefSeq genes 880 bp
• Intergenic backbone 1737 bp

Copy number SNP arrays

• SNPs limited to specific locations in genome
  SNP
• only arrays biased due to positional
  restrictions
• Non-polymorphic (copy number) probes fill gaps to
  
• allow broad coverage

6
Improvements of CytoScan HD over Affy SNP 6.0

• Improved software
• Much less noise
• Probes empirically chosen based on performance
• 20 million probes screened
• All reagents centrally manufactured and provided
  as kits
• Streamlined procedure only one restriction
  digest, half the steps, less hands-on time

7
Other potential benefits of CytoScan

• Affy filing for FDA clearance
• CytoScan currently has best coverage on single
  array for both constitutional and neoplastic
  cases
• Other large clinical labs switching to CytoScan
  (LabCorp, ARUP)

8

• Copy number SNP arrays - detect copy number
  changes and allele frequencies
• SNPs can detect uniparental isodisomy,
  consanguinity
• more sensitive for detection of mosaicism
• independent confirmation of copy number findings
  and better breakpoint determination

CNC detection vs. reporting

• Cytoscan software allows differential flagging in
  known clinically signficant critical regions vs.
  backbone regions
• Can potentially detect smaller CNCs but doesnt
  mean everything should be reported
• Ex LabCorp size cut-offs for reporting in
  backbone regions
• Postnatal gt500 Kb gain, gt200 Kb loss
• Prenatal gt2 Mb gain, gt1 Mb loss

13
Uniparental disomy

• Inheritance of two homologous chromosomes from
  one parent
• isodisomy two copies of the same homolog
• heterodisomy two different homologs
• UPD mechanisms
• meiotic non-disjunction with trisomy or monosomy
  rescue
• post-zygotic mitotic recombination
• Whole chromosome isodisomy vs. hetero/isodisomy

• Homozygosity profiling by SNP array is screen for
  UPD
• What LCSH size should be used as cut-off for
  recommending parental f/u for UPD?
• Determined distribution of LCSH in patient
  population
• Retrospectively analyzed eight confirmed UPD
  cases for LCSH

18
Distribution of LCSH in 120 consecutive patients
19
Eight known UPD cases

• Two whole chromosome homozygosity
• Six mixture of hetero/isodisomy
• Single LCSH range 13.5 48.4 Mb
• One case with two LCSH of 11 and 11.2 Mb
• Set LCSH UPD cut-off at gt13.5 Mb (two LCSH with
  total of gt 15 Mb)
• LCSH in more than one chromosome identity by
  descent

20
Prospectively analyzed 13,000 patients by SNP
array

• 92 patients with UPD qualifying LCSH based on
  cut-offs
• Parental f/u on 46 cases (mostly imprinted
  chromosomes)
• Confirmed UPD in 29 cases
• 14/30 whole chromosome isoUPD
• 13/30 mixture of hetero/isoUPD
• False-positive UPD 17 cases
• Chromosome 3 and 11 pericentromeric region, 13q21

21
LabCorp Study other observations

• False-positive cases had shorter average LCSH,
  greater freq near cen, no telomeric LCSH
• No false-positive cases with qualifying telomeric
  LCSH
• Sometimes see evidence of copy mosaicism in
  trisomy/monosomy rescue allele freq mosaicism in
  segmental UPD
• Low likehood of false-negatives

22
LabCorp current cut-offs for UPD (combined
hetero/isodisomy or segmental UPD)

• Single LCSH in one chromosome
• gt20 Mb interstitial or gt10 Mb telomeric for
  non-imprinted chromosomes
• gt15 Mb interstitial or gt8 Mb telomeric for known
  imprinted chromosomes
