Presentation Transcript

  1. The NGS Era is Now Eric T. Weimer, PhD, D(ABMLI) Assistant Professor, Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, UNC School of Medicine Director, Molecular Immunology Associate Director, Clinical Flow Cytometry, HLA, and Immunology Laboratories at UNC Health Care

  2. CONFLICT OF INTEREST I have financial relationship(s) with: Advisory Board, Illumina AND My presentation does include discussion of off-label use. Commercial reagents for HLA typing by NGS are labeled for research use only, however I will be discussing the clinical application of these reagents

  3. Outline • General NGS background and terms • HLA region targeted enrichment • NGS library preparation methodologies • NGS chemistries • NGS instrumentation and costs • NGS data analysis

  4. HLA Background • Most polymorphic genes in the human genome • Inherited as haplotypes • Co-dominantly expressed

  5. Why use NGS for HLA? • Sanger sequencing identified >10,000 alleles • < 10% fully sequenced • < 10% “common” • > 40% have only been reported once • High-throughput unambiguous typing • Most NGS errors are substitutions

  6. Role of HLA Matching in BMT • 70% of patients won’t have donor in their family Spieser et al. Blood, Vol 87, No 10. 1996: pp 4455-4462

  7. Next-generation Sequencing Terms • Massively parallel sequencing: a technique in which many sequencing reactions occur and are detected simultaneously • Library generation: process of creating DNA fragments with adapter sequences on both ends • Adapters: short oligonucleotides that are attached to DNA to be sequenced and provide a mean to capture the sequence on platform • Barcodes/Indices: molecular tagging of samples with unique sequence-based codes (~3+ bp) • Coverage: percentage of bases called at predetermined depth with HLA • Depth: number of individual sequence reads that align to a particular nucleotide • Paired-end read mapping: independent read that are derived from the same library fragment

  8. Why use NGS for HLA? • Sanger sequencing identified >14,000 alleles • < 10% fully sequenced • < 10% “common” • > 40% have only been reported once • High-throughput unambiguous typing • Up to 384 patients within a single NGS run • Sequencing clinically relevant areas • UTRs and intron-exon boundary • As of October 6, 2016, 18 ASHI accredited labs for NGS

  9. Basic Principles of NGS • Generate PCR amplicons • Fragment DNA • Prep fragments for sequencing (library prep) • Immobilize on solid substrate • Perform in situ clonal amplification • Detect sequential incorporation of nucleotides (chemiluminesence, fluorescence, pH change) • Applies to Ion Torrent and Illumina platforms Voelkerding, Dames, Durtschi. J Mol Diagn. 2010 Sep;12(5):539-51

  10. High Quality DNA input = High Quality data out • Varying DNA quantity requirements (40-400ng total DNA) • Quality of DNA is independent of quantity • High quality DNA increases likelihood of successful sequencing run and higher quality data • Quality most often determined by DNA fragmentation • ssDNA and protein contamination • NGS requires quantifying dsDNA • UV absorption (Nanodrop) • Intercalating dyes (QuBit, SYBR Green, QuantiFluor) • 5’ hydrolysis probes (Taqman) with real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) • Droplet digital emulsion PCR (ddPCR)

  11. NanoDrop vs QuBit • Significant DNA quantitation differences between NanoDrop and QuBit • NanoDrop (UV adsorption) less specific for dsDNA compared to QuBit Simbolo et al. PLoS One. 2013; 8(6): e62692

  12. DNA Fragment Size • Heavily fragmentation specimens can’t be amplified by long-range PCR • DPB1 PCR product can be up to 10,000 bp • Most often from buccal swabs • TapeStation or BioAnalyzer DNA size

  13. Target Enrichment: HLA Region • Commercial reagents utilize long-range PCR • Multiplex PCR combining different HLA gene combinations • Hybrid capture probes • “Pull” out specific regions of interest • Doesn’t require amplification

  15. Nextera based library preparation: “Tagmentation” • Simultaneous DNA fragmentation and adaptor ligation • Less hands-on time • Very sensitive to amount of DNA and incubation time Head et al. Biotechniques. 2014 Feb 1;56(2):61-4

  23. Benefits of Paired-end Sequencing • Sequencing both end of single DNA molecule • Allows for better alignment over repetitive regions (homopolymer) • Don’t necessarily overlap 300 bp 800 bp

  24. NGS Quality Scores • Quality scores the probability that a base is called incorrectly • Each base in a read is assigned a quality score by a phred-like algorithm • UNC NGS average: 95.6% ± 0.96 ≥Q30

  28. Summary • NGS allows for high throughput sequencing in a cost efficient manner • NGS success is dependent on the quality of input DNA • NGS generates massive amounts of high-quality data and bioinformatics plays vital role in interpretation • NGS is a technology with several intricate steps and understand each step is key to overall success
