High-resolution repeat structure analysis in myotonic dystrophy type 2 diagnostics using short-read whole genome sequencing
Background/Objectives
Diagnostic possibilities for myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2) are constantly evolving in order to achieve more accurate and faster diagnosis. Whole genome sequencing (WGS), together with specialized tandem repeat (TR) genotyping bioinformatic tools, represent a breakthrough technology in molecular diagnostics. We decided to characterize new opportunities and challenges in WGS-based DM2 molecular diagnostics.
Methods
WGS data were obtained from 50 individuals, including five DM2 patients, and one individual carrying a premutation range allele. TR characterization was performed using a modified version of the Dante tool, with results validated by conventional PCR and repeat-primed PCR.
Results
We used WGS to identify all of the expansion-range DM2 alleles, together with the premutation-range allele. Compared to conventional methods, WGS was more efficient for a detailed sequence structure characterization of the normal-range alleles, and phasing of the entire CNBP-complex motif. A 97 % genotyping concordance rate was achieved between the conventional methods and the WGS-derived results, with discrepancies mainly based on single-repeat differences in the genotypes. The stutter effect introduced some uncertainty in both methods.
Conclusion
Short-read WGS offers significant potential for DM2 diagnostics by enabling precise repeat motif characterization and may also apply to other tandem repeat disorders (TRDs).
期刊介绍:
The journal''s title Analytical Biochemistry: Methods in the Biological Sciences declares its broad scope: methods for the basic biological sciences that include biochemistry, molecular genetics, cell biology, proteomics, immunology, bioinformatics and wherever the frontiers of research take the field.
The emphasis is on methods from the strictly analytical to the more preparative that would include novel approaches to protein purification as well as improvements in cell and organ culture. The actual techniques are equally inclusive ranging from aptamers to zymology.
The journal has been particularly active in:
-Analytical techniques for biological molecules-
Aptamer selection and utilization-
Biosensors-
Chromatography-
Cloning, sequencing and mutagenesis-
Electrochemical methods-
Electrophoresis-
Enzyme characterization methods-
Immunological approaches-
Mass spectrometry of proteins and nucleic acids-
Metabolomics-
Nano level techniques-
Optical spectroscopy in all its forms.
The journal is reluctant to include most drug and strictly clinical studies as there are more suitable publication platforms for these types of papers.
