2 The Human Genome Project started in 1990 ² The Mission of the HGP: The quest to understand the human genome and the role it plays in both health and disease. The true payoff from the HGP will be the ability to better diagnose, treat, and prevent disease. --- Francis Collins, Director of the HGP and the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI)

3 1985-Human Genome Project Lord, They discover the complete Human Genome code! FINISHED!!! Heavens! Those hackers! I have to change the password!

10 GENETIC BASIS OF DISEASE Complexity of the Human Genome million pairs of bases Around genes 3% are genes, 97% is junk DNA with some regulatory acevity over those genes (not anymore junk!) We all share >99% of geneec informaeon, with >20 million pairs of bases (SNPs) being different.

11 SNPs SNPs (single nucleoede polymorphisms) are one base change (A,T,C,G) in the DNA sequence. SNPs explain many geneec diseases and differences between humans. Close to 20M SNPs idenefied

12 THE BURDEN OF GENETIC DISEASE Autosomal Recessive Inheritance single gene disorders Combined incidence: 1/300 births (U.S.) 20% infant deaths Everyone carries severe recessive mutajons that can cause geneec condieons Recessive mutaeons can pass down quietly through many generaeons Carriers may not have a family history or symptoms of a geneec disease Hence, carrier tesjng is the only way to determine carrier status 1.

Reprod Biomed Online. Oct;21(4):

13 GENETIC DISORDERS AND SCREENING PaEents affected by rare disorders face muleple challenges (survey by Eurodis 2006): DiagnosEc delay (5-30 years for 25% of paeents) 40% inieally receive incorrect diagnosis 33% received inappropriate treatment: 16% unnecessary surgery 10% received Psychological care: Wrong assumpeon of psychosomaec basis

14 Great, great, great, great, great granduncle was the previous affected family member ~175 years earlier

15 Why should we recommend expanded carrier screening?

16 REASONS TO DO IT It has worked with other ethnic panels It is recommended for the specialists It is cheaper that the cost of maintaining the affected people Because populaeon is homogenizing and ethnicity panels are not valid

17 17 Genomic TesJng for Universal Carrier Status

18 NEW PARADIGM Test every couple planning to conceive for as many diseases as possible, affordably.

19 What diseases should be included in expanded screening?

20 CRITERIA FOR EXPANDED SCREENING: NIH In the NIH meeeng on PopulaEon- based Carrier Screening for Single Gene Disorders, the following criteria was recommended: Impaired health in homozygous affected offspring High frequency of carriers in screened populaeon Technically and clinically valid screening methods available Screening is cost- effeceve Consent is obtained IVF, prenatal diagnosis and terminaeon are reproduceve opeons PotenEal benefits and risks of carrier teseng are explained pre- and post- test Privacy is protected Experienced professionals are available SEgmaEzaEon of carrier status in the community is minimized The meeeng concluded that the top three consideraeons are: carrier frequency, disease burden and cost of screening. 1. hkp:// Last accessed: 9/20/2012

26 The CarrierMap

27 THE RECOMBINE TEST We have created a chip to determine carrier status simultaneously for more than 300 geneec condieons by screening nearly 2,000 mutaeons. Our pan- ethnic screen includes diseases that are more common in specific ethnic groups as well as diseases that are less common or occur more broadly in the general populaeon. Recombine s test therefore provides the greatest reduceon to the overall risk of having a child with a geneec condieon.

28 CARRIERMAP TESTS FOR >300 GENETIC DISEASES CarrierMap is the most comprehensive genetic carrier screen available and follows all recommendations and guidelines from the leading organizations in reproduction and genetics. Useful for all patients, regardless of ethnicity.
