2 2 Disclosures Company name Research support Employee Consultant Stockholder Speakers bureau Advisory board Other Nothing to disclose 6 th European Symposium on Rare Anaemias-1 st Dutch-Belgian meeting for patients and health professionals

3 3 This talk is applicable for: Thalassaemia Sickle cell disease Membrane disorders (e.g. spherocytosis) Enzyme defects (e.g. G6PD,PKD) PNH Other forms of rare anaemias Definite Probable 6 th European Symposium on Rare Anaemias-1 st Dutch-Belgian meeting for patients and health professionals

4 4 outline Why do we perform genetic tests (for Rare Anaemias)? What has changed in 2015? Are genetic tests available on the internet reliable? What can we expect from NGS (next generation sequencing)? 6 th European Symposium on Rare Anaemias-1 st Dutch-Belgian meeting for patients and health professionals

5 1-Whydo weperformgenetictests for rare anaemias? Pastand present 6 th European Symposium on Rare Anaemias-1 st Dutch-Belgian meeting for patients and health professionals 5

6 6 Rare anaemias Most rare anaemias(ras) are inherited The driver of heredity is DNA Genetic tests can be useful for people carrying a RA 6 th European Symposium on Rare Anaemias-1 st Dutch-Belgian meeting for patients and health professionals

7 7 DNA is present in our cells cell Chromosomes nucleus

8 8 Chromosomes are made of DNA 46 2 x DNA X Y Protein* * e.g.: G6PD, pyruvate kinase, (haemo)globins

9 9 DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) 4 subunits (A, T G, C) : nucleotides or bases 3 billion bases ACTGTAATGGGCGTGACATTACCCGC DNA sequence (arrangement of bases) of Human beings is 99.9% identical-only 0.1% is unique

10 10 Genes DNA contain genes Genes code for proteins Genetic diseases Ex: globin genes code for globin chains (haemoglobin) DNA

11 11 Genetic testing (analysis of DNA) Diagnosisof a disease Confirm a (difficult) diagnosis : Unstable hemoglobins Blackfan Diamond Anemia(DBA) Prenatal /pre-implantation diagnosis Preparation of prenatal diagnosis : DNA analysis of the carrier parents Prognosis of a disease Ex : (type of mutation, genetic modifiers ) Thalassemia major or intermedia Sickle cell disease

12 12 Genetic testing : methods DNA Sequencing (Sanger) Analysis of portions of genes or fragments of DNA CCTCACATGTGGAGCCACACCTA mutation? Genetic disease

13 13 2 -What has changed in 2015? Present (& future) 6 th European Symposium on Rare Anaemias-1 st Dutch-Belgian meeting for patients and health professionals

14 14 Main revolutions in genetic testing i. The role played by the web ii. Next generation sequencing (NGS) 6 th European Symposium on Rare Anaemias-1 st Dutch-Belgian meeting for patients and health professionals

15 15 i. Are genetic tests available on the internet reliable? 6 th European Symposium on Rare Anaemias-1 st Dutch-Belgian meeting for patients and health professionals

16 16 Traditional prescription of genetic tests prescription Officially labelled of genetic diagnosis laboratory Blood sample Parents, patients Specialized physician, geneticist Specialized (authorized) biologists GENETIC RESULTS GENETIC RESULTS

18 18 DTC genetic tests : what can you order online? Disease risk DTC > Ancestry research Paternity or maternity tests Companies 23andme Navigenetics DeCODEme DNAexplain. Market (2009) : 20,000 30,000 people US $ per test Total around US $10 20 million* *Genetics IN Medicine Volume 12, Number 9, September 2010

19 19 Example of DTC Provider: decodeme Price: from EUR 840 Duration: Website: about 21 days 47 disease risks and genetic predispositions are analysed. Ancestry tests: Origin analysis Paternity test Paternity test without sample of the father Maternity test Maternity test without sample of the mother Prenatal paternity test Test with Trace Samples Reconstruction Test for Twins Lifestyle Gene Tests: GenePartner- Love is no coincidence! Warrior-Gene test Lifestyle Gentest Package (Warrior Gene & Factoids) Baby Gender DNA test Diagnostic Gene Tests: Genetic Health Tests Animal DNA Tests:

20 20 DTC genetictests in the USA

21 21 Problems with DTC genetic tests (1) 1. Risk of the method? Ex: contamination of the sample by another DNA 2. Safety of the result? Ex 1: Expertise of the laboratory analysis? Ex 2: Expertise of the biologists?

22 22 Problems with DTC genetic tests (2) 3. Interpretation of the result? Ex: complexity of the genetic results no doctor to explain Ex: Legal issues : for some illness it is mandatory to inform the relatives (e.g. France) 4. Privacy & related questions? My genome data available online? To whom? For what purpose? Insurance Legal issues

26 26 ii. Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) 6 th European Symposium on Rare Anaemias-1 st Dutch-Belgian meeting for patients and health professionals

27 DNA sequencing: Sanger method Analysis of fragments of DNA / portions of genes DNA Time consuming Cost

28 28 Next generation sequencing (NGS) High number of DNA fragments High number of genes

29 29 Next generation sequencing (NGS) All the coding regions of a gene : exome All the genome(coding and non coding regions)

30 30 International HumanGenomeProject (HGP) International scientific research project (> 20 labs : USA, UK, France, Australia, China and other spontaneous relationships.) Goal : determine the sequence of human DNA and mapping all the genes. $3 billion Begun in 1990(15 year-project) Declared completed in April : 1 genome $1,000 in one day

31 31 Next generation sequencing (NGS) Interest? Genetic diseases due to very big genes Genetic diseases due to several genes Ex: Blackfan Diamond anaemia Complex associations : multigene disorders Diseases with genetic modifiers Rapidity Decreased cost

32 32 Next generation sequencing (NGS) Problems? Too much data (bioinformatics) New ways of working for biologist New ethical and legal issues

33 33 «Incidentalfindings» in genescreens inadvertent discoveries made while looking for something else.

34 34 «Incidentalfindings» in genescreens The American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) recommended that every time a lab conducts DNA sequencing, the lab should also test for several dozen specific genes associated with other disorders should report the incidental findingsto anyone who ordered the tests, usually a physician. published a list of variants to be reported (does not include any RA)

35 35 Future is now NGS allows analysing the whole genome of an individual predicting diseases (even at birth) making a complete genetic card of an individual A new way to use genetic testing Probably a new area in medical practice 6 th European Symposium on Rare Anaemias-1 st Dutch-Belgian meeting for patients and health professionals
