  1. Regions of the Canine Genome Associated with Osteosarcoma Identified by a Whole Genome Case-Control Association Study Kenine E Comstock, Elinor Karlsson, Claire Wade, Evan T Keller, Eric Lander, Laurence Baker, Kerstin Lindblad-Toh University of Michigan, Ann Arbor & Broad Institute, Boston, USA

  2. Osteosarcoma in pet dogs and humans • Differences • Age of onset • Incidence in population • Common Features • Primary tumor occurs on weight bearing limbs • Tumor growth with an intact immune system • Similarities in histology • Location of metastases • Common environment

  3. Dogs and humans: Similarities in cancer genetics The first example: Renal cancer syndrome Canine Hereditary Multifocal Renal Cystadenocarcinoma and Nodular Dermatofibrosis (RCND) • German Shepherds • Autosomal dominant • Similar in phenotype to human Birt-Hogg Dube syndrome. • We showed that mutations in the same gene in human and dogs were associated with both diseases. RCND-affected RCND-unaffected Lingaas and Comstock, et al. Hum Mol Genet. 2003 12(23):3043-53

  4. Cancer in dogs is highly breed-specific

  5. Advantages of canine models for mapping cancer genes • Large families, inbred, good genealogical records, relatively short generation times • Disease progression accelerated. • Genetic similarity within breeds: cancer is associated with fewer mutations than in the species as a whole.

  6. Methods for mapping genes 1. Linkage mapping using families Best for rare, high penetrance diseases 2. Association mapping For complex traits Compares cases vs controls No need for families Markers: SNPs 100,000 SNPs or more for humans Only ~30,000 SNPs in dogs! Can narrow associated regions to kilobases

  7. Resources available for Canine Disease Gene Mapping • 7x Canine Genome Sequence-released July 2005* • Comparative maps of human and dog chromosomes • SNP mapping set *Lindblad-Toh et al. Nature (2005) 438:803-19

  8. China gray wolf Alaska gray wolf India gray wolf Spanish gray wolf California Coyote Boxer Poodle Alaskan Malamute Bedlington Terrier English Shepherd German Shepherd Labrador Retriever Portuguese Waterdog Rottweiler Beagle Italian Greyhound 2.5 million SNPs discovered (1 SNP/kb) • SNP discovery in 11 breeds • and 5 wild canids

  9. Dog SNP Chip for whole genome scans Designed and tested by Michigan/Broad group in collaboration with Affymetrix ~26,500 optimized SNP Mapping Set Now commercially available Coverage

  10. Power analysis: Prediction of sample size needed * *In humans, would need approx 800 + 800

  11. Can we map real traits using this SNP marker set? Yes! Power calculations appear correct • Predicted low sample numbers work • One significant associated region *Elinor Karlsson and Claire Wade, Broad Institute

  12. Objectives: • To identify genes involved with osteosarcoma susceptibility in dogs • To map a complex trait using the new SNP set.

  13. Large and giant breed dogs have a higher risk of osteosarcoma 1) Mastiff-type breeds 2) Long-limbed breeds Greyhound-5 to 10 X Irish Wolfhound Great Dane Scottish Deerhound Rhodesian Ridgeback Great Pyrenees Borzoi Saint Bernard Rottweiler-5 X increased risk Labrador Retriever Flat-coated Retriever Golden Retriever Mastiff Bullmastiff Newfoundland

  14. Eligibility Criteria Cases: Dogs diagnosed with osteosarcoma Cases were confirmed by either radiography and/or by biopsy. All cases are being confirmed by a single independent pathologist. Controls: Healthy, cancer-free dogs 10 years and older for Greyhounds, 8 years and older for all other breeds. Owners of control dogs are contacted regularly. All dogs of a single breed in the study are unrelated through the grandparents.

  15. Study participants enrolled Table 1: Samples collected as of May 1, 2006

  16. Relationship between haplotype size and breed Haplotype  The series of alleles along a chromosome inherited by an individual from one parent. Corgi Irish wolfhound

  17. 1/2Mb-1Mb x x x x Stage 1: OSA susceptibility gene mapping in each breed separately We’ve started with Rottweilers: Searched genome for 0.5-1 Mb disease-associated haplotypes OSA+ OSA+

  18. 10-20kb             Stage 2: Fine mapping across dog breeds within a breed group Add related breeds to narrow the region to a smaller, shared ancestral haplotype (~10-20kb). We are just getting started with this! “OSA” gene { { Golden retriever (OSA+) Leonberger (OSA+)

  19. Whole Genome Scan in Rottweilers: Likelihood of an association Location in the genome

  20. SNPs SNPs grouped into 4 gamete “haplotype” blocks Regions associated with osteosarcoma in Rottweilers A B C -log(10) of the p-value • Localized to three haplotype blocks • Association performed using Haploview • p< 0.01 with 100,000 permutations.

  21. Currently ongoing… • Screening for mutations • Genome scan in greyhounds • Fine mapping in related breeds
