1 PREVENTION OF HAEMOGLOBINOPATHIES: New methodologies and procedures Non-invasive Prenatal Diagnosis Marina Kleanthous Cyprus School of Molecular Medicine The Cyprus Institute of Neurology and Genetics 11th Annual Sickle Cell Disease and Thalassaemia Conference (ASCAT) October 2017, London UK

2 Prenatal Diagnosis Prenatal diagnosis by CVS/amniocentesis Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) Non-invasive prenatal diagnosis (NIPD) 2

3 NIPD Clinical Use 01 Aneuploidies (Chromosomes 21, 18, 13) RHD for haemolytic disease of the newborn Y chromosome detection for X-linked disorders Single gene diseases (Achondroplasia, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, Cystic Fibrosis) 3

4 Cell-Free Fetal DNA Discovery of cell-free fetal DNA in maternal plasma of pregnant women (Lo et al., 1997) Apoptotic placental cells/trophoblasts (Flori et al., 2004) Represents 5-10% of cell-free DNA in maternal plasma (Lo et al., 1998) Fragmented, prominence size at 143bp (Lo et al., 2010) Detectable from 5 th week of gestation (Honda et al., 2002) Increased during pregnancy and disappears rapidly after delivery (Lo et al., 1999) Fetal fraction varies between pregnancies (Galbiati et al., 2005) The entire fetal genome is represented in maternal plasma (Lo et al, 2010)

5 OUR APPROACH Aim N/IVS1-110 N/IVS1-110 Development of a reliable NIPD assay for β-globin gene diseases using SNPs located on the β-globin gene cluster βthal a c g t Normal g t c g a c c g ND a c c g ND Mat. plasma a c c g g t c g ND normal SNPs and haplotype analysis Mutation detection 5

6 METHODS Fast COLD PCR Detection of the paternally-inherited fetal alleles Targeted Next Generation Sequencing Fetal fraction measurement Detection of the paternally-inherited fetal alleles Detection of the maternally-inherited fetal alleles (Relative Variant Dosage) Droplet Digital PCR Fetal fraction measurement Detection of the paternally-inherited fetal alleles Detection of the maternally-inherited fetal alleles (Relative Variant Dosage) Chromosomal Haplotyping (without family study)

7 Fast COLD PCR Preferential amplification of the minor allele over the overwhelming background of the major allele using a critical denaturation temperature, Tc Tc lower than the Tm of the major allele Enrichment of Tm-reducing variations (G:C>A:T or G:C>T:A) Makrigiorgos et al., 2008

8 Selection of SNPs with High Degree of Heterozygosity 130 SNPs located on the β-globin gene cluster ( 75 random samples (Cyprus Population) Sequenom MALDI-TOFF Mass Array 49 SNPs with Tm-reducing higher than variants 6% of for Fast COLD PCR heterozygosity were selected for SNP1 G/A further analysis for NIPD SNP2 G/T 8

9 Fast Temperature- Gradient COLD PCR Fast TG COLD PCR Denature all DNA at 94 C Fetal Maternal Tm-reducing variations Tm Fetal < Tm Maternal Tc < Tm Maternal Primer annealing at 56 C Extend at 72 C 5 cycles SNP 1 SNP 2 Tc1= 77.4 C Tc1= 77.3 C Tc2= 77.6 C Tc2= 77.5 C Tc3= 77.8 C Tc3= 77.8 C Tc4= 78.0 C Denatured fetal (minor) dsdna maternal (major) Primer annealing at 56⁰C 10 cycles for each Tc Extend at 72⁰C

10 Genomic DNA analysis SNP1(G/T) Genomic DNA spikes 95% GG and 5% TT allele Mimic the fetal-maternal relationship in maternal plasma Fulfil the Tm-reducing criterion Sample Run 1 - Replicate 1 Run 1 - Replicate 2 Run 1 - Replicate 3 100% GG 100% TT Assessment of reproducibility 3 replicate reactions/run 3 runs 95% GG & 5% TT ~70% ~60% ~70% 10

12 Evaluation of Fast TG COLD PCR on maternal plasma samples Blood collection ~8 th wk gestation- 9ml PB cff DNA isolation from maternal plasma 17 maternal plasma samples of pregnancies at risk for β-thalassaemia 8 for SNP 1 (G/T) 9 for SNP 2 (G/A) Assessment of reproducibility 3 replicate reactions/run 3 runs 12
