Title: Affymetrix CytoScan HD array
1Affymetrix CytoScan HD array
2CytoScan 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)
3Coverage
- 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
4Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs)
..ATGC
Allele A
..ATAC
Allele B
5Copy 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
6Improvements 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
7Other 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

12CNC 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
13Uniparental 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
14SNPs and consanguinity or UPD
Chromosome 2
15Normal allele homozygosity
Whole chromosome isodisomy
16UPD or normal ?
17LabCorp studyPapenhausen et al. Am J Med Genet.
155A757-68, 2011
- 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
18Distribution of LCSH in 120 consecutive patients
19Eight 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
20Prospectively 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
21LabCorp 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
22LabCorp 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
23SNP detection of consanguinity
LCSH involving multiple chromosomes (regions of
identity by descent)
24LabCorp cut-offs for consanguinityLCSH gt 10 Mb
