Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of molecular diagnostics, and more particularly to the field of prenatal genetic diagnosis.
- Fetal aneuploidy and other chromosomal aberrations affect 9 out of 1000 live births (1).
- the gold standard for diagnosing chromosomal abnormalities is karyotyping of fetal cells obtained via invasive procedures such as chorionic villus sampling and amniocentesis.
- Non-invasive screening of fetal aneuploidy using maternal serum markers and ultrasound are available but have limited reliability (3-5). There is therefore a desire to develop non-invasive genetic tests for fetal chromosomal abnormalities.
- sequence tag refers to a relatively short (e.g., 15-100) nucleic acid sequence that can be used to identify a certain larger sequence, e.g., be mapped to a chromosome or genomic region or gene. These can be ESTs or expressed sequence tags obtained from mRNA.
- Venter et al. "The sequence of the human genome," Science, 2001 Feb 16;291(5507):1304-51 discloses the sequence of the human genome, which information is publicly available from NCBI.
- Another reference genomic sequence is a current NCBI build as obtained from the UCSC genome gateway.
- Wheeler et al. "The complete genome of an individual by massively parallel DNA sequencing," Nature, 2008 Apr 17;452(7189):872-6 discloses the DNA sequence of a diploid genome of a single individual, James D. Watson, sequenced to 7.4-fold redundancy in two months using massively parallel sequencing in picolitre-size reaction vessels. Comparison of the sequence to the reference genome led to the identification of 3.3 million single nucleotide polymorphisms, of which 10,654 cause amino-acid substitution within the coding sequence.
- Genomic Sequencing discloses a method in which respective amounts of a clinically-relevant chromosome and of background chromosomes are determined from results of massively parallel sequencing. It was found that the percentage representation of sequences mapped to chromosome 21 is higher in a pregnant woman carrying a trisomy 21 fetus when compared with a pregnant woman carrying a normal fetus. For the four pregnant women each carrying a euploid fetus, a mean of 1.345% of their plasma DNA sequences were aligned to chromosome 21.
- the present invention comprises a method for analyzing a maternal sample, e.g., from peripheral blood. It is not invasive into the fetal space, as is amniocentesis or chorionic villi sampling.
- fetal DNA which is present in the maternal plasma is used.
- the fetal DNA is in one aspect of the invention enriched due to the bias in the method towards shorter DNA fragments, which tend to be fetal DNA.
- the method is independent of any sequence difference between the maternal and fetal genome.
- the DNA obtained preferably from a peripheral blood draw, is a mixture of fetal and maternal DNA.
- the DNA obtained is at least partially sequenced, in a method which gives a large number of short reads.
- This method does not require the sequence differentiation of fetal versus maternal DNA, because the summed contribution of both maternal and fetal sequences in a particular chromosome or chromosome portion will be different as between an intact, diploid chromosome and an aberrant chromosome, i.e., with an extra copy, missing portion or the like. In other words, the method does not rely on a priori sequence information that would distinguish fetal DNA from maternal DNA.
- the abnormal distribution of a fetal chromosome or portion of a chromosome i.e., a gross deletion or insertion
- the median count of autosomal values i.e., number of sequence tags per autosome
- the term "chromosome portion" is used herein to denote either an entire chromosome or a significant fragment of a chromosome. For example, moderate Down syndrome has been associated with partial trisomy 21q22.2 ⁇ qter .
- sequence tag density in predefined subsections of chromosomes (e.g., 10 to 100 kb windows)
- a normalization constant can be calculated, and chromosomal subsections quantified (e.g., 21q22.2).
- the present method can be applied to arbitrarily small fractions of fetal DNA. It has been demonstrated to be accurate down to 6% fetal DNA concentration. Exemplified below is the successful use of shotgun sequencing and mapping of DNA to detect fetal trisomy 21 (Down syndrome), trisomy 18 (Edward syndrome), and trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome), carried out non-invasively using cell-free fetal DNA in maternal plasma. This forms the basis of a universal, polymorphism-independent non-invasive diagnostic test for fetal aneuploidy. The sequence data also allowed us to characterize plasma DNA in unprecedented detail, suggesting that it is enriched for nucleosome bound fragments. The method may also be employed so that the sequence data obtained may be further analyzed to obtain information regarding polymorphisms and mutations.
- the present invention comprises, in certain aspects, a method of testing for an abnormal distribution of a specified chromosome portion in a mixed sample of normally and abnormally distributed chromosome portions obtained from a single subject, such as a mixture of fetal and maternal DNA in a maternal plasma sample.
- a method of testing for an abnormal distribution of a specified chromosome portion in a mixed sample of normally and abnormally distributed chromosome portions obtained from a single subject such as a mixture of fetal and maternal DNA in a maternal plasma sample.
- One carries out sequence determinations on the DNA fragments in the sample, obtaining sequences from multiple chromosome portions of the mixed sample to obtain a number of sequence tags of sufficient length of determined sequence to be assigned to a chromosome location within a genome and of sufficient number to reflect abnormal distribution.
- Using a reference sequence one assigns the sequence tags to their corresponding chromosomes including at least the specified chromosome by comparing the sequence to reference genomic sequence.
- the present method also involves correcting for nonuniform distribution sequence tags to different chromosomal portions.
- a number of windows of defined length are created along a chromosome, the windows being on the order of kilobases in length, whereby a number of sequence tags will fall into many of the windows and the windows covering each entire chromosome in question, with exceptions for non-informative regions, e.g., centromere regions and repetitive regions.
- Various average numbers i.e., median values, are calculated for different windows and compared.
- the present invention may comprise a computer programmed to analyze sequence data obtained from a mixture of maternal and fetal chromosomal DNA.
- Each autosome (chr. 1-22) is computationally segmented into contiguous, non-overlapping windows. (A sliding window could also be used).
- Each window is of sufficient length to contain a significant number of reads (sequence tags, having about 20-100 bp of sequence) and not still have a number of windows per chromosome.
- a window will be between 10kb and 100kb, more typically between 40 and 60 kb. There would, then, for example, accordingly be approximately between 3,000 and 100,000 windows per chromosome.
- Windows may vary widely in the number of sequence tags that they contain, based on location (e.g., near a centromere or repeating region) or G/C content, as explained below.
- the median (i.e., middle value in the set) count per window for each chromosome is selected; then the median of the autosomal values is used to account for differences in total number of sequence tags obtained for different chromosomes and distinguish interchromosomal variation from sequencing bias from aneuploidy.
- This mapping method may also be applied to discern partial deletions or insertions in a chromosome.
- the present method also provides a method for correcting for bias resulting from G/C content. For example, some the Solexa sequencing method was found to produce more sequence tags from fragments with increased G/C content. By assigning a weight to each sequence tag based on the G/C content of a window in which the read falls.
- the window for GC calculation is preferably smaller than the window for sequence tag density calculation.
- Figure 1 is a scatter plot graph showing sequence tag densities from eighteen samples, having five different genotypes, as indicated in the figure legend. Fetal aneuploidy is detectable by the over-representation of the affected chromosome in maternal blood.
- Figure IA shows sequence tag density relative to the corresponding value of genomic DNA control; chromosomes are ordered by increasing G/C content. The samples shown as indicated, are plasma from a woman bearing a T21 fetus; plasma from a woman bearing a T18 fetus; plasma from a normal adult male; plasma from a woman bearing a normal fetus; plasma from a woman bearing a Tl 3 fetus.
- FIG. IB is a detail from Fig. IA, showing chromosome 21 sequence tag density relative to the median chromosome 21 sequence tag density of the normal cases. Note that the values of 3 disomy 21 cases overlap at 1.0. The dashed line represents the upper boundary of the 99% confidence interval constructed from all disomy 21 samples.
- the chromosomes are listed in Figure IA in order of G/C content, from low to high. This figure suggests that one would prefer to use as a reference chromosome in the mixed sample with a mid level of G/C content, as it can be seen that the data there are more tightly grouped.
- chromosomes 18, 8, 2, 7, 12, 21 except in suspected Down syndrome
- 14, 9, and 11 may be used as the nominal diploid chromosome if looking for a trisomy.
- Figure IB represents an enlargement of the chromosome 21 data.
- Figure 2 is a scatter plot graph showing fetal DNA fraction and gestational age.
- the fraction of fetal DNA in maternal plasma correlates with gestational age.
- Fetal DNA fraction was estimated by three different ways: 1. From the additional amount of chromosomes 13, 18, and 21 sequences for T13, T18, and T21 cases respectively. 2. From the depletion in amount of chromosome X sequences for male cases. 3. From the amount of chromosome Y sequences present for male cases.
- the horizontal dashed line represents the estimated minimum fetal DNA fraction required for the detection of aneuploidy. For each sample, the values of fetal DNA fraction calculated from the data of different chromosomes were averaged.
- Figure 3 is a histogram showing size distribution of maternal and fetal DNA in maternal plasma. It shows the size distribution of total and chromosome Y specific fragments obtained from 454 sequencing of maternal plasma DNA from a normal male pregnancy. The distribution is normalized to sum to 1. The numbers of total reads and reads mapped to the Y- chromosome are 144992 and 178 respectively.
- Inset Cumulative fetal DNA fraction as a function of sequenced fragment size. The error bars correspond to the standard error of the fraction estimated assuming the error of the counts of sequenced fragments follow Poisson statistics.
- Figure 4 is a pair of line graphs showing distribution of sequence tags around transcription start sites (TSS) of ReSeq genes on all autosomes and chromosome X from plasma DNA sample of a normal male pregnancy (top, Fig. 4A) and randomly sheared genomic DNA control (bottom, Fig. 4B).
- TSS transcription start sites
- the number of tags within each 5bp window was counted within ⁇ lOOObp region around each TSS, taking into account the strand each sequence tag mapped to.
- the counts from all transcription start sites for each 5bp window were summed and normalized to the median count among the 400 windows. A moving average was used to smooth the data.
- a peak in the sense strand represents the beginning of a nucleosome, while a peak in the anti-sense strand represents the end of a nucleosome.
- a peak in the anti-sense strand represents the end of a nucleosome.
- five well-positioned nucleosomes are observed downstream of transcription start sites and are represented as grey ovals. The number below within each oval represents the distance in base pairs between adjacent peaks in the sense and anti-sense strands, corresponding to the size of the inferred nucleosome. No obvious pattern is observed for the genomic DNA control.
- Figure 5A is a scatter plot graph showing the mean sequence tag density for each chromosome of all samples, including cell-free plasma DNA from pregnant women and male donor, as well as genomic DNA control from male donor, is plotted above. Exceptions are chromosomes 13, 18 and 21, where cell-free DNA samples from women carrying aneuploid fetuses are excluded. The error bars represent standard deviation. The chromosomes are ordered by their G/C content. G/C content of each chromosome relative to the genome- wide value (41%) is also plotted.
- Figure 5B is a scatter plot of mean sequence tag density for each chromosome versus G/C content of the chromosome. The correlation coefficient is 0.927, and the correlation is statistically significant (p ⁇ 10 ⁇ 9 ).
- Figure 5C is a scatter plot of the standard deviation of sequence tag density of each chromosome versus G/C content of the chromosome.
- the correlation coefficient between standard deviation of sequence tag density and the absolute deviation of chromosomal G/C content from the genome-wide G/C content is 0.963, and the correlation is statistically significant (p ⁇ 10-12).
- Figure 6 is a scatter plot graph showing percent difference of chromosome X sequence tag density of all samples as compared to the median chromosome X sequence tag density of all female pregnancies. All male pregnancies show under-representation of chromosome X.
- Figure 7 is a scatter plot graph showing a comparison of the estimation of fetal DNA fraction for cell-free DNA samples from 12 male pregnancies using sequencing data from chromosomes X and Y.
- the dashed line represents a simple linear regression line, with a slope of 0.85.
- Figure 8 is a line graph showing length distribution of sequenced fragments from maternal cell-free plasma DNA sample of a normal male pregnancy at lbp resolution. Sequencing was done on the 454/Roche platform. Reads that have at least 90% mapping to the human genome with greater than or equal to 90% accuracy are retained, totaling 144992 reads. Y-axis represents the number of reads obtained. The median length is 177bp while the mean length is 180bp.
- Figure 9 is a schematic illustrating how sequence tag distribution is used to detect the over and under-representation of any chromosome, i.e., a trisomy (over representation) or a missing chromosome (typically an X or Y chromosome, since missing autosomes are generally lethal).
- a median number of reads M for each chromosome which, for purposes of illustration, may be observed along the x axis at the approximate center of the distribution and may be said to be higher if there are more sequence tags attributable to that chromosome.
- Ml a median Ml.
- N a normalization constant that can be used to correct for differences in sequences obtained in different runs, as can be seen in Table 1.
- the normalized sequence tag density for chromosome 1 would be Ml/N; for chromosome 22 it would be M22/N.
- M The median of the 22 values of M (from all autosomes, chromosomes 1 through 22) is used as the normalization constant N.
- the normalized sequence tag density of each chromosome is M/N (e.g., chr 1: Ml/N; chr 22: M22/N).
- chr 1 Ml/N
- chr 22 M22/N
- Such normalization is necessary to compare different patient samples since the total number of sequence tags (thus, the sequence tag density) for each patient sample is different (the total number of sequence tags fluctuates between ⁇ 8 to -12 million).
- the analysis thus flows from frequency of reads per coordinate (A and C) to # reads per window (B and D) to a combination of all chromosomes.
- Figure 10 is a scatter plot graph showing data from different samples, as in Figure 1, except that bias for G/C sampling has been eliminated.
- Figure 11 is a scatter plot graph showing the weight given to different sequence samples according to percentage of G/C content, with lower weight given to samples with a higher G/C content.
- G/C content ranges from about 30% to about 70%; weight can range over a factor of about 3.
- Figure 12 is a scatter plot graph which illustrates results of selected patients as indicated on the x axis, and, for each patient, a distribution of chromosome representation on the Y axis, as deviating from a representative t statistic, indicated as zero.
- Figure 13 is a scatter plot graph showing the minimum fetal DNA percentage of which over- or under-representation of a chromosome could be detected with a 99.9% confidence level for chromosomes 21, 18, 13 and Chr. X, and a value for all other chromosomes.
- Figure 14 is a scatter plot graph showing a linear relationship between log 10 of minimum fetal DNA percentage that is needed versus log 10 of the number of reads required.
- Sequence tag density means the normalized value of sequence tags for a defined window of a sequence on a chromosome (in a preferred embodiment the window is about 50kb), where the sequence tag density is used for comparing different samples and for subsequent analysis.
- a "sequence tag” is a DNA sequence of sufficient length that it may be assigned specifically to one of chromosomes 1-22, X or Y. It does not necessarily need to be, but may be non-repetitive within a single chromosome. A certain, small degree of mismatch (0-1) may be allowed to account for minor polymorphisms that may exist between the reference genome and the individual genomes (maternal and fetal) being mapped. The value of the sequence tag density is normalized within a sample.
- sequence tag density as calculated in this way would ideally be about 1 for a disomic chromosome.
- sequence tag densities can vary according to sequencing artifacts, most notably G/C bias; this is corrected as described. This method does not require the use of an external standard, but, rather, provides an internal reference, derived from al of the sequence tags (genomic sequences), which may be, for example, a single chromosome or a calculated value from all autosomes.
- T21 means trisomy 21.
- T18 means trisomy 18.
- T13 means trisomy 13.
- Aneuploidy is used in a general sense to mean the presence or absence of an entire chromosome, as well as the presence of partial chromosomal duplications or deletions or kilobase or greater size, as opposed to genetic mutations or polymorphisms where sequence differences exist.
- Massively parallel sequencing means techniques for sequencing millions of fragments of nucleic acids, e.g., using attachment of randomly fragmented genomic DNA to a planar, optically transparent surface and solid phase amplification to create a high density sequencing flow cell with millions of clusters, each containing -1,000 copies of template per sq. cm. These templates are sequenced using four-color DNA sequencing-by-synthesis technology. See, products offered by Illumina, Inc., San Diego, California. In the present work, sequences were obtained, as described below, with an Illumina/Solexa IG Genome Analyzer. The Solexa/ ⁇ lumina method referred to below relies on the attachment of randomly fragmented genomic DNA to a planar, optically transparent surface.
- the plasma DNA does not need to be sheared. Attached DNA fragments are extended and bridge amplified to create an ultra-high density sequencing flow cell with ⁇ 50 million clusters, each containing -1,000 copies of the same template. These templates are sequenced using a robust four-color DNA sequencing-by- synthesis technology that employs reversible terminators with removable fluorescent dyes. This novel approach ensures high accuracy and true base-by-base sequencing, eliminating sequence-context specific errors and enabling sequencing through homopolymers and repetitive sequences.
- High- sensitivity fluorescence detection is achieved using laser excitation and total internal reflection optics. Short sequence reads are aligned against a reference genome and genetic differences are called using specially developed data analysis pipeline software.
- Solexa's oligonucleotide adapters are ligated onto the fragments, yielding a fully-representative genomic library of DNA templates without cloning.
- Single molecule clonal amplification involves six steps: Template hybridization, template amplification, linearization, blocking 3' ends, denaturation and primer hybridization.
- Solexa's Sequencing-by-Synthesis utilizes four proprietary nucleotides possessing reversible fluorophore and termination properties. Each sequencing cycle occurs in the presence of all four nucleotides.
- the presently used sequencing is preferably carried out without a preamplification or cloning step, but may be combined with amplification-based methods in a microfluidic chip having reaction chambers for both PCR and microscopic template-based sequencing. Only about 30 bp of random sequence information are needed to identify a sequence as belonging to a specific human chromosome. Longer sequences can uniquely identify more particular targets. In the present case, a large number of 25bp reads were obtained, and due to the large number of reads obtained, the 50% specificity enabled sufficient sequence tag representation.
- the complexity of the system lies primarily in the sample preparation and in the microfabricated, massively parallel platform, which contains 1.6 million picoliter-sized reactors in a 6.4-cm 2 slide.
- Sample preparation starts with fragmentation of the genomic DNA, followed by the attachment of adaptor sequences to the ends of the DNA pieces.
- the adaptors allow the DNA fragments to bind to tiny beads
- the beads are encased in droplets of oil that contain all of the reactants needed to amplify the DNA using a standard tool called the polymerase chain reaction.
- the oil droplets form part of an emulsion so that each bead is kept apart from its neighbor, ensuring the amplification is uncontaminated.
- Each bead ends up with roughly 10 million copies of its initial DNA fragment.
- the DNA-template- carrying beads are loaded into the picoliter reactor wells — each well having space for just one bead.
- the technique uses a sequencing-by-synthesis method developed by Uhlen and colleagues, in which DNA complementary to each template strand is synthesized.
- the nucleotide bases used for sequencing release a chemical group as the base forms a bond with the growing DNA chain, and this group drives a light-emitting reaction in the presence of specific enzymes and luciferin. Sequential washes of each of the four possible nucleotides are run over the plate, and a detector senses which of the wells emit light with each wash to determine the sequence of the growing strand. This method has been adopted commercially by 454 Life Sciences.
- Non-invasive prenatal diagnosis of aneuploidy has been a challenging problem because fetal DNA constitutes a small percentage of total DNA in maternal blood (13) and intact fetal cells are even rarer (6, 7, 9, 31, 32).
- fetal DNA constitutes a small percentage of total DNA in maternal blood (13) and intact fetal cells are even rarer (6, 7, 9, 31, 32).
- By directly sequencing maternal plasma DNA we could detect fetal trisomy 21 as early as 14th week of gestation.
- Using cell-free DNA instead of intact cells allows one to avoid complexities associated with microchimerism and foreign cells that might have colonized the mother; these cells occur at such low numbers that their contribution to the cell- free DNA is negligible (33, 34).
- cell-free fetal DNA clears from the blood to undetectable levels within a few hours of delivery and therefore is not carried forward from one pregnancy to the next (35
- Rare forms of aneuploidy caused by unbalanced translocations and partial duplication of a chromosome are in principle detectable by the approach of shotgun sequencing, since the density of sequence tags in the triplicated region of the chromosome would be higher than the rest of the chromosome. Detecting incomplete aneuploidy caused by mosaicism is also possible in principle but may be more challenging, since it depends not only on the concentration of fetal DNA in maternal plasma but also the degree of fetal mosaicism. Further studies are required to determine the effectiveness of shotgun sequencing in detecting these rare forms of aneuploidy.
- the present method is applicable to large chromosomal deletions, such as 5p- Syndrome (five p minus), also known as Cat Cry Syndrome or Cri du Chat Syndrome.
- 5p- Syndrome is characterized at birth by a high-pitched cry, low birth weight, poor muscle tone, microcephaly, and potential medical complications.
- amenable disorders addressed by the present methods are p-, monosomy 9P, otherwise known as Alfi's Syndrome or 9P-, 22ql 1.2 deletion syndrome, Emanuel Syndrome, also known in the medical literature as the Supernumerary Der(22) Syndrome, trisomy 22, Unbalanced 11/22 Translocation or partial trisomy 11/22, Microdeletion and Microduplication at 16pl 1.2, which is associated with autism, and other deletions or imbalances, including those that are presently unknown.
- Mapping shotgun sequence information i.e., sequence information from a fragment whose physical genomic position is unknown
- Plasma DNA samples used in this study were obtained about 15 to 30 minutes after amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling. Since these invasive procedures disrupt the interface between the placenta and maternal circulation, there have been discussions whether the amount of fetal DNA in maternal blood might increase following invasive procedures. Neither of the studies to date have observed a significant effect (41, 42).
- the average fetal DNA fraction estimated from sequencing data is higher than the values estimated from digital PCR data by an average factor of two (p ⁇ 0.005, paired t-test on all male pregnancies that have complete set of data).
- One possible explanation for this is that the PCR step during Solexa library preparation preferentially amplifies shorter fragments, which others have found to be enriched for fetal DNA (22, 23). Our own measurements of length distribution on one sample do not support this explanation, but nor can we reject it at this point. It should also be pointed out that using the sequence tags we find some variation of fetal fraction even in the same sample depending on which chromosome we use to make the calculation (Figure 7, Table 1).
- nucleosome occupancy throughout the eukaryotic genome is not necessarily uniform and depends on factors such as function, expression, or sequence of the region (30, 43), the representation of sequences from different loci in cell-free maternal plasma may not be equal, as one usually expects in genomic DNA extracted from intact cells.
- the quantity of a particular locus may not be representative of the quantity of the entire chromosome and care must be taken when one designs assays for measuring gene dosage in cell-free maternal plasma DNA that target only a few loci.
- Shotgun sequencing can potentially reveal many more previously unknown features of cell-free nucleic acids such as plasma mRNA distributions, as well as epigenetic features of plasma DNA such as DNA methylation and histone modification, in fields including perinatology, oncology and transplantation, thereby improving our understanding of the basic biology of pregnancy, early human development and disease.
- sequencing equipment was used in the present illustrative examples, namely the Solexa/ ⁇ lumina sequencing platform and the 454/Roche platform. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that a number of different sequencing methods and variations can be used.
- One sequencing method that can be used to advantage in the present methods involves paired end sequencing. Fluorescently labeled sequencing primers could be used to simultaneously sequence both strands of a dsDNA template, as described e.g., in Wiemann et al. (Anal. Biochem. 224: 117 [1995]; Anal. Biochem. 234: 166 [1996]. Recent examples of this technique have demonstrated multiplex co-sequencing using the four-color dye terminator reaction chemistry pioneered by Prober et al. (Science 238: 336 [1987]).
- Solexa/Illumina offers a "Paired End Module" to its Genome Analyzer. Using this module, after the Genome Analyzer has completed the first sequencing read, the Paired- End Module directs the resynthesis of the original templates and the second round of cluster generation.
- the Paired-End Module is connected to the Genome Analyzer through a single fluidic connection.
- 454 has developed a protocol to generate a library of Paired End reads. These Paired End reads are approximately 84-nucleotide DNA fragments that have a 44-mer adaptor sequence in the middle flanked by a 20-mer sequence on each side.
- the two flanking 20-mers are segments of DNA that were originally located approximately 2.5 kb apart in the genome of interest.
- paired end reads By using paired end reads in the present method, one may obtain more sequence information from a given plasma DNA fragment, and, significantly, one may also obtain sequence information from both ends of the fragment.
- the fragment is mapped to the human genome as explained here elsewhere. After mapping both ends, one may deduce the length of the starting fragment. Since fetal DNA is known to be shorter than maternal DNA fragments circulating in plasma, one may use this information about the length of the DNA fragment to effectively increase the weight given to sequences obtained from shorter (e.g., about 300 bp or less) DNA fragments. Methods for weighting are given below.
- Another method for increasing sensitivity to fetal DNA is to focus on certain regions within the human genome.
- Other microdeletions and microduplications are set forth in Table 1 of US 2005/0181410, published Aug. 18 2005 under the title "Methods and apparatuses for achieving precision genetic diagnosis.”
- sequence-based methodologies such as sequencing by array, or capture beads with specific genomic sequences used as capture probes.
- sequence-based methodologies such as sequencing by array, or capture beads with specific genomic sequences used as capture probes.
- the use of a sequencing array can be implemented as described in Chetverin et al., "Oligonucleotide arrays: new concepts and possibilities," Biotechnology (N Y). 1994 Nov;12(l l):1093-9, as well as Rothberg, US 2002/0012930 Al entitled “Method of Sequencing a Nucleic Acid,” and Reeve et al., “Sequencing by Hybridization,” US 6,399,364.
- the target nucleic acid to be sequenced may be genomic DNA, cDNA or RNA.
- the sample is rendered single stranded and captured under hybridizing conditions with a number of single stranded probes which are catalogued by bar coding or by physical separation in an array.
- Emulsion PCR as used in the 454 system, the SOLiD system, and Polonator (Dover Systems) and others may also be used, where capture is directed to specific target sequences, e.g., genome sequences mapping uniquely to chromosome 21 or other chromosome of interest, or to a chromosome region such as 15ql 1 (Prader-Willi syndrome), or excessive CGG repeats in the FMRl gene (fragile X syndrome).
- the subsequencing method is in one aspect contrary to conventional massively parallel sequencing methodologies, which seek to obtain all of the sequence information in a sample.
- This alternative method selectively ignores certain sequence information by using a sequencing method which selectively captures sample molecules containing certain predefined sequences.
- the method proceeds as described below, where one obtains a large number of sequence reads from one or more reference chromosomes, which are compared to a large number of reads obtained from a chromosome of interest, after accounting for variations arising from chromosomal length, G/C content, repeat sequences and the like.
- the present methods involve analyzing sequence data in a defined chromosomal sliding "window," such as contiguous, nonoverlapping 50Kb regions spread across a chromosome. Partial trisomies of 13q, 8p (8p23.1), 7q, distal 6p, 5p, 3q (3q25.1), 2q, Iq
- partial Xpand monosomy 4q35.1 have been reported, among others.
- partial duplications of the long arm of chromosome 18 can result in Edwards syndrome in the case of a duplication of 18q21.1-qter (See, Mewar et al., "Clinical and molecular evaluation of four patients with partial duplications of the long arm of chromosome 18," Am J Hum Genet. 1993 Dec;53(6): 1269-78).
- the volume of plasma is the volume used for Sequencing Library Creation (ml).
- the amount of DNA is in Plasma (cell equivalent/ml plasma)*.
- the approximate amount of input DNA is that use for Sequencing Library Construction (ng).
- this number represents the number of reads with at least 90% accuracy and 90% coverage when mapped to hgl8.
- sample P13 was the first to be analyzed by shotgun sequencing. It was a normal fetus and the chromosome value was clearly disomic. However, there were some irregularities with this sample and it was not included in further analysis. This sample was sequenced on a different Solexa instrument than the rest of the samples of this study, and it was sequenced in the presence of a number of samples of unknown origin. The G/C content of this sample was lower than the G/C bias of the human genome, while the rest of the samples are above. It had the lowest number of reads, and also the smallest number of reads mapped successfully to the human genome.
- This pattern of intra-chromosomal variation was common among all samples, including randomly sheared genomic DNA, indicating the observed variation was most probably due to sequencing artifacts.
- the window can be varied in size to account for larger numbers of reads (in which cases a smaller window, e.g., 10 kb, gives a more detailed picture of a chromosome) or a smaller number of reads, in which case a larger window (e.g., 100kb) may still be used and will detect gross chromosome deletions, omissions or duplications.
- the median count per 50kb window for each chromosome was selected.
- the median of the autosomal values (i.e., 22 chromosomes) was used as a normalization constant to account for the differences in total number of sequence tags obtained for different samples.
- the inter-chromosomal variation within each sample was also consistent among all samples (including genomic DNA control).
- the mean sequence tag density of each chromosome correlates with the G/C content of the chromosome (p ⁇ 10 ⁇ 9 ) ( Figure 5A, 5B).
- the standard deviation of sequence tag density for each chromosome also correlates with the absolute degree of deviation in chromosomal G/C content from the genome-wide G/C content (p ⁇ 10 ⁇ 12 ) ( Figure 5A, 5C).
- sequence tag density of chromosome 21 for T21 cases should be (l+ ⁇ /2) of that of disomy 21 pregnancies, where ⁇ is the fraction of total plasma DNA originating from the fetus, such increase in chromosome 21 coverage in T21 cases corresponds to a fetal DNA fraction of -8% - 35% (average -23%) (Table 1, Figure 2).
- ⁇ is the fraction of total plasma DNA originating from the fetus
- Plasma DNA of pregnant women carrying T18 fetuses (2 cases) and a T13 fetus (1 case) were also directly sequenced. Over-representation was observed for chromosome 18 and chromosome 13 in T18 and T13 cases respectively (Figure IA). While there were not enough positive samples to measure a representative distribution, it is encouraging that all of these three positives are outliers from the distribution of disomy values. The Tl 8 are large outliers and are clearly statistically significant (p ⁇ 10 ⁇ 7 ), while the statistical significance of the single T13 case is marginal (p ⁇ 0.05). Fetal DNA fraction was also calculated from the over-represented chromosome as described above ( Figure 2, Table 1).
- the fraction of fetal DNA in maternal cell-free plasma DNA is usually determined by comparing the amount of fetal specific locus (such as the SRY locus on chromosome Y in male pregnancies) to that of a locus on any autosome that is common to both the mother and the fetus using quantitative real-time PCR (13, 22, 23).
- fetal specific locus such as the SRY locus on chromosome Y in male pregnancies
- quantitative real-time PCR 13, 22, 23.
- the percentage of fetal DNA among total cell-free DNA in maternal plasma can also be calculated from the density of sequence tags of the sex chromosomes for male pregnancies.
- sequence tag density of chromosome Y of plasma DNA from male pregnancies we estimated fetal DNA percentage to be on average ⁇ 19% (range: 4-44%) for all male pregnancies (Table 2, above, Figure 2).
- sequence tag density of chromosome X in male pregnancies should be (l-e/2) of that of female pregnancies, where e is fetal DNA fraction.
- nucleosomal DNA is mainly apoptotic of origin
- nucleosome positioning around transcription start sites.
- Experimental data from yeast and human have suggested that nucleosomes are depleted in promoters upstream of transcription start sites and nucleosomes are well-positioned near transcription start sites (27-30).
- a peak in the sense strand represents the beginning of a nucleosome while a peak in the antisense strand represents the end.
- Shown in Figures 10 and 12 are results which may be obtained when sequence tag numbers are treated statistically based on data from the reference human genome. That is, for example, sequence tags from fragments with higher GC content may be overrepresented, and suggest an aneuploidy where none exists.
- the sequence tag information itself may not be informative, since only a small portion of the fragment ordinarily will be sequenced, while it is the overall G/C content of the fragment that causes the bias.
- a method described in detail in Examples 8 and 10, for correcting for this bias, and this method may facilitate analysis of samples which otherwise would not produce statistically significant results.
- This method for correcting for G/C bias of sequence reads from massively parallel sequencing of a genome, comprises the step of dividing the genome into a number of windows within each chromosome and calculating the G/C content of each window. These windows need not be the same as the windows used for calculating sequence tag density; they may be on the order of 10kb-30kb in length, for example. One then calculates the relationship between sequence coverage and G/C content of each window by determining a number of reads per a given window and a G/C content of that window. The G/C content of each window is known from the human genome reference sequence. Certain windows will be ignored, i.e., with no reads or no G/C content.
- Microfluidic digital PCR was used to quantify the amount of total and fetal DNA using Taqman assays targeting at the EIF2C1 locus on chromosome 1 (Forward: 5' GTTCGGCTTTCACCAGTCT 3' (SEQ ID NO: 1) ; Reverse: 5' CTCCATAGCTCTCCCCACTC 3' (SEQ ID NO: 2); Probe: 5' HEX- GCCCTGCCATGTGGAAGAT-BHQ 1 3' (SEQ ID NO: 3); amplicon size: 81bp) and the
- SRY locus on chromosome Y (Forward: 5' CGCTTAACATAGCAGAAGCA 3'(SEQ ID NO: 4); Reverse: 5' AGTTTCGAACTCTGGCACCT 3'(SEQ ID NO: 5); Probe: 5' FAM- TGTCGCACTCTCCTTGTTTTTGACA-BHQ 1 3'(SEQ ID NO: 6); amplicon size: 84bp) respectively.
- a Taqman assay targeting at DYS 14 (Forward: 5' ATCGTCCATTTCCAGAATCA 3'(SEQ ID NO: 6); Reverse: 5' GTTGACAGCCGTGGAATC 3' (SEQ ID NO: 7); Probe: 5' FAM- TGCCACAGACTGAACTGAATGATTTTC-BHQ1 3' (SEQ ID NO: 8); amplicon size: 84bp), a multi-copy locus on chromosome Y, was used for the initial determination of fetal sex from cell-free plasma DNA with traditional real-time PCR.
- PCR reactions were performed with Ix iQ Supermix (Bio-Rad), 0.1% Tween-20 (microfluidic digital PCR only), 30OnM primers, and 15OnM probes.
- the PCR thermal cycling protocol was 95C for 10 min, followed by 40 cycles of 95C for 15s and 6OC for 1 min. Primers and probes were purchased form IDT.
- a total of 19 cell-free plasma DNA samples including 18 from pregnant women and 1 from a male blood donor, and genomic DNA sample from whole blood of the same male donor, were sequenced on the Solexa/Illumina platform. ⁇ 1 to 8ng of DNA fragments extracted from 1.3 to 5.6ml cell-free plasma was used for sequencing library preparation (Table 1). Library preparation was carried out according to manufacturer's protocol with slight modifications. Because cell-free plasma DNA was fragmented in nature, no further fragmentation by nebulization or sonication was done on plasma DNA samples.
- Genomic DNA from male donor's whole blood was sonicated (Misonix XL-2020) (24 cycles of 30s sonication and 90s pause), yielding fragments with size between 50 and 400bp, with a peak at 150bp. ⁇ 2ng of the sonicated genomic DNA was used for library preparation. Briefly, DNA samples were blunt ended and ligated to universal adaptors. The amount of adaptors used for ligation was 500 times less than written on the manufacturer's protocol. 18 cycles of PCR were performed to enrich for fragments with adaptors using primers complementary to the adaptors.
- the size distributions of the sequencing libraries were analyzed with DNA 1000 Kit on the 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent) and quantified with microfluidic digital PCR (Fluidigm). The libraries were then sequenced using the Solexa IG Genome Analyzer according to manufacturer's instructions. Cell-free plasma DNA from a pregnant woman carrying a normal male fetus was also sequenced on the 454/Roche platform. Fragments of DNA extracted from 5.6ml of cell-free plasma (equivalent to ⁇ 4.9ng of DNA) were used for sequencing library preparation. The sequencing library was prepared according to manufacturer's protocol, except that no nebulization was performed on the sample and quantification was done with microfluidic digital PCR instead of capillary electrophoresis. The library was then sequenced on the 454 Genome Sequencer FLX System according to manufacturer's instructions.
- Electropherograms of Solexa sequencing libraries were prepared from cell-free plasma DNA obtained from 18 pregnant women and 1 male donor. Solexa library prepared from sonicated whole blood genomic DNA from the male donor was also examined. For libraries prepared from cell-free DNA, all had peaks at average 261bp (range: 256-264bp). The actual peak size of DNA fragments in plasma DNA is ⁇ 168bp (after removal of Solexa universal adaptor (92bp)). This corresponds to the size of a chromatosome.
- Solexa sequencing produced 36 to 50bp reads.
- the first 25bp of each read was mapped to the human genome build 36 (hgl8) using ELAND from the Solexa data analysis pipeline.
- the reads that were uniquely mapped to the human genome having at most 1 mismatch were retained for analysis.
- a sliding window of 50kb was applied across each chromosome, except in regions of assembly gaps and micro satellites, and the number of sequence tags falling within each window was counted and the median value was chosen to be the representative of the chromosome. Because the total number of sequence tags for each sample was different, for each sample, we normalized the sequence tag density of each chromosome (except chromosome Y) to the median sequence tag density among autosomes.
- fetal DNA fraction was estimated as 2*(x-l), where x was the ratio of the over-represented chromosome sequence tag density of each trisomy case to the median chromosome sequence tag density of the all disomy cases.
- chromosome X fetal DNA was estimated as 2*(l-x), where x was the ratio of chromosome X sequence tag density of each male pregnancy to the median chromosome X sequence tag density of all female pregnancies.
- chromosome Y fetal DNA fraction was estimated as the ratio of chromosome Y sequence tag density of each male pregnancy to that of male donor plasma DNA. Because a small number of chromosome Y sequences were detected in female pregnancies, we only considered sequence tags falling within transcribed regions on chromosome Y and subtracted the median number of tags in female pregnancies from all samples; this amounted to a correction of a few percent.
- a confidence interval gives an estimated range of values, which is likely to include an unknown population parameter, the estimated range being calculated from a given set of sample data. (Definition taken from Valerie J. Easton and John H. McColl's Statistics Glossary vl.l)
- sequence tags that mapped uniquely to the human genome with at most 1 mismatch (on average ⁇ 5 million) for analysis.
- the distribution of reads across each chromosome was examined. Because the distribution of sequence tags across each chromosome was non-uniform (possibly technical artifacts), we divided the length of each chromosome into non-overlapping sliding window with a fixed width (in this particular analysis, a 50kbp window was used), skipping regions of genome assembly gaps and regions with known micro satellite repeats.
- the width of the window is should be large enough such that there are a sufficient number of sequence tags in each window, and should be small enough such that there are sufficient number of windows to form a distribution.
- the window width can be reduced.
- the number of sequence tags in each window was counted.
- the distribution of the number of sequence tags per 50kb for each chromosome was examined.
- the median value of the number of sequence tags per 50kb (or 'sequence tag density') for each chromosome was chosen in order to suppress the effects of any under- or over- represented regions within the chromosome. Because the total number of sequence tags obtained for each sample was different, in order to compare among samples, we normalized each chromosomal sequence tag density value (except chromosome Y) by the median sequence tag density among all autosomes (non-sex chromosomes).
- reads were aligned to the human genome build 36 (hgl8, see hyper text transfer protocol (http) genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgGateway) using the 454 Reference Mapper. Reads having accuracy of greater than or equal to 90% and coverage (i.e., fraction of read mapped) greater than or equal to 90% were retained for analysis. To study the size distribution of total and fetal DNA, the number of retained reads falling within each lObp window between 50bp to 330bp was counted.
- the number of reads falling within different size ranges may be studied, i.e., reads of between 50-60 bp, 60-70 bp, 70-80 bp, etc., up to about 320-330 bp, which is around the maximum read length obtained.
- EXAMPLE 5 Genome Data Retrieval Information regarding G/C content, location of transcription start sites of RefSeq genes, location of assembly gaps and microsatellites were obtained from the UCSC Genome Browser.
- TSS transcription start sites
- the distribution of sequence tags around transcription start sites (TSS) of RefSeq genes were analyzed (data not shown). The plots were similar to Figure 4. Each plot represented the distribution for each plasma DNA or gDNA sample. Data are obtained from three different sequencing runs (Pl, P6, P52, P53, P26, P40, P42 were sequenced together; male genomic DNA, male plasma DNA, P2, P7, P14, P19, P31 were sequenced together; P17, P20, P23, P57, P59, P64 were sequenced together).
- the second batch of samples suffers greater G/C bias as observed from inter- and intra-chromosomal variation. Their distributions around TSS have similar trends with more tags at the TSS.
- EXAMPLE 7 Calculating fetal DNA fraction in maternal plasma of male pregnancies: i. With Digital PCR Taqman Assays
- Digital PCR is the amplification of single DNA molecule.
- DNA sample is diluted and distributed across multiple compartments such that on average there is less than 1 copy of DNA per compartment.
- a compartment displaying fluorescence at the end of a PCR represents the presence of at least one DNA molecule.
- the count of positive compartments from the microfluidic digital PCR chip of each assay is converted to the most probable count according to the method described in the supporting information of the following reference: Warren L, Bryder D, Weissman IL, Quake SR (2006) Transcription factor profiling in individual hematopoietic progenitors by digital RT-PCR. Proc Nat Acad Sci, 103: 17807-12.
- x be the ratio of ChrX sequence tag density of male to female pregnancies.
- the denominator of this ratio is taken to be the median sequence tag density of all female pregnancies.
- Fetal DNA fraction ⁇ (sequence tag density of ChrY in maternal plasma/sequence tag density of ChrY in male plasma)
- Trisomic pregnancies trisomic chromosome sequence counts (fetal and maternal)
- x be the ratio of trisomic chromosome sequence counts (or sequence tag density) of trisomic to disomic pregnancies.
- the denominator of this ratio is taken to be the median sequence tag density of all disomic pregnancies.
- EXAMPLE 8 Correction of sequence tag density bias resulting from G/C or A/T content among different chromosomes in a sample
- This example shows a refinement of results indicating sequences mapping to different chromosomes and permitting the determination of the count of different chromosomes or regions thereof. That is, the results as shown in Figure IA may be corrected to eliminate the variations in sequence tag density shown for chromosomes higher in G/C content, shown towards the right of the Figure. This spread of values results from sequencing bias in the method used, where a greater number of reads tend to be obtained depending on G/C content.
- Figure 10 is an overlay which shows the results from a number of different samples, as indicated in the legend.
- sequence tag density values in Figs 1 and 10 were normalized to those of a male genomic DNA control, since the density values are not always 1 for all the chromosomes (even after GC correction) but are consistent among a sample. For example, after GC correction, values from all samples for chrl9 cluster around 0.8 (not shown). Adjusting the data to a nominal value of 1 can be done by plotting the value relative to the male gDNA control. This makes the values for all chromosomes cluster around 1
- chromosome sequence tag densities can be seen as significantly above a median sequence tag density; disomic chromosomes are clustered about a line running along a density value of about 1.
- results from chromosome 19 far right, highest in G/C content
- Samples (such as P13 in the present study) which could not have been unambiguously interpreted now may be. Since G/C content is the opposite of A/T content, the present method will correct for both. Either G/C bias or A/T bias can result from different sequencing methods.
- an arbitrary window of known human genomic DNA sequence is chosen for determining G/C content of different reads.
- the window can be much smaller e.g., 10kb or 5kb, but a size of 20kb makes computation easier.
- b Calculate the relationship between sequence coverage and G/C content. Assign weight to each read according to G/C content. For each sample, the number of read per 20kb bin is counted. The number of read is plotted against G/C content. The average number of read is calculated for every 0.1% G/C content, ignoring bins with no reads, bins with zero G/C percent, and bins with over- abundant reads. The reciprocal of the average number of reads for a particular G/C percent relative to the global median number of read is calculated as the weight. Each read is then assigned a weight depending on the G/C percent of the 20kb window it falls into.
- FIG. 11 A graph showing the results of chrl of P7 is shown in Figure 11, which illustrates the weight distribution of this step (c) from sample P7, where the weight assigned to different G/C contents is shown; Reads with higher G/C content are overly represented than average and thus are given less weight.
- FIG. 12 illustrates the results of an analysis of patients P13, P19, P31, P23, P26, P40, P42, Pl, P2, P6, P7, P14, P17, P20, P52, P53, P57, P59 and P64, with their respective karyotypes indicated, as in Table 1, above.
- the dotted line shows the 99% confidence interval, and outliers may be quickly identified. It may be seen by looking below the line that male fetuses have less chromosome X (solid triangles). An exception is P19, where it is believed that there were not enough total reads for this analysis.
- Step 1 Calculate a t statistic for each chromosome relative to all other chromosome in a sample.
- Each t statistic tells the value of each chromosome median relative to other chromosomes, taking into account the number of reads mapped to each chromosome (since the variation of the median scales with the number of reads).
- the present analyses yielded about 5 million reads per sample. Although one may obtain 3-10 million reads per sample, these are short reads, typically only about 20-100 bp, so one has actually only sequenced, for example about 300 million of the 3 billion bp in the human genome.
- Step 2 Calculate the average t statistic matrix by averaging the values from all samples with disomic chromosomes.
- Each patient sample data is placed in a t matrix, where the row is chrl to chr22, and the column is also chrl to chr22.
- Each cell represents the t value when comparing the chromosomes in the corresponding row and column (i.e., position (2,1) in the matrix is the t-value of when testing chr2 and chrl) the diagonal of the matrix is 0 and the matrix is symmetric.
- the number of reads mapping to a chromosome is compared individually to each of chrl -22.
- Step 3 Subtract the average t statistic matrix from the t statistic matrix of each patient sample. For each chromosome, the median of the difference in t statistic is selected as the representative value. The t statistic for 99% confidence for large number of samples is 3.09. Any chromosome with a representative t statistic outside -3.09 to 3.09 is determined as non- disomic.
- Figure 13 and Figure 14 show results obtained from 19 patient plasma DNA samples, 1 donor plasma DNA sample, and duplicate runs of a donor gDNA sample. It is estimated in Figure 13 that the minimum fetal DNA % of which over-representation of chr21 can be detected at the best sampling rate ( ⁇ 70k reads mapped to chr21) is -6%. (indicated by solid lines in Fig. 13). The lines are drawn between about 0.7 XlO 5 reads and 6% fetal DNA concentration. It can be expected that higher numbers of reads (not exemplified here) the needed fetal DNA percentage will drop, probably to about 4%.
- the 99.9% confidence interval of the median for each chromosome is estimated from bootstrapping 5000 samples from the 50kb read distribution data using the percentile method.
- the half width of the confidence interval is estimated as 0.5*confidence interval.
