  13. Applications of dystrophin high density aCGH • Difficulties in exon skipping for duplications • Orientation • Structure • Position of breakpoints • Dystrophin aCGH study of 25 duplications • Structure of duplications • Rapid breakpoint mapping • Understanding how dystrophin duplications arise Informing a exon skipping trial targeting duplications

  15. Duplication breakpoint mapping Exon 51 Exon 51

  16. Breakpoint sequencing results • Ease of breakpoint mapping • 15/25 breakpoints (60%) needed just one round of PCR and sequencing • 20/25 (80%) central breakpoints amplified and sequenced • Tandem orientation

  17. Breakpoint sequencing results Intron 1 Microhomology 1-4 nucleotides 14/20 (70%) Duplication sequence Intron 4 Intron 30 Small insertion 1-4 nucleotides 4/20 (20%) Duplication sequence Intron 17 Intron 7 Clean breakpoint 2/20 (10%) Duplication sequence Intron 2

  18. Exon 36 Exon 36 Exon 3 Exon 3 Exon 4-37 Exon 38-> Exon 1-2 Exon 3-35 Duplication study Comparison with RNA results • Genomic DNA: Duplication Exons 3-37 • Breakpoint close to exon 37 • RNA level: Duplication Exons 3-36 Exon 37 13bp

  19. Duplication study Understanding the mechanism of duplications • Non-allelic homologous recombination (NAHR) • Lack of homology between breakpoints • 34% - 48% (mean 42%) sequence identity • No shared repetitive element homology • Non-homologous recombination (NHR) • Simple tandem structure • Non-recurrent breakpoints • Microhomology and insertions • DNA repair mechanism such as non-homologous endjoining (NHEJ) • Replication based mechanism such as fork stalling and template switching (FoSTeS) E.g.

  20. Conclusions • Array CGH vs MLPA • Array CGH as a specialist test • Solving difficult cases • Rapid breakpoint mapping e.g. to Inform therapeutic strategies
