3:37pm October 7th 2015 via Hootsuite

Hyland: Goal: SNPs, indels, and CNV in gene to cover pharmacogenomic genes. Lots of paralogues, CYP2D6, etc. 119 amplicons. #ASHG15

3:24pm October 7th 2015 via Hootsuite

Tzika: If sub-optimal DNA - CNVseq; also referrals from precious, non-repeatable samples. Can confirm array findings #ASHG15

3:20pm October 7th 2015 via Hootsuite

Tzika CNVseq method; unexplained learning difficulties, dev delay in children. aCGH front-line test if good quality DNA #ASHG15

3:08pm October 7th 2015 via Hootsuite

Saris: Goal was to replace MLPA; asked if their gene panel could call CNVs; they use JSI SeqPilot SW; based upon depth of coverage #ASHG15

Muzzey:Q:Could use 'regular' NGS? A:Yes, hardest is statistically clean calling for CNV, and enough coverage of gene +pseudogene #ASHG15

3:01pm October 7th 2015 via Hootsuite

Muzzey:Q (Lincoln) Where else could this could be used? A: Where CNV has high homology, many other pseudogenes #ASHG15

2:59pm October 7th 2015 via Hootsuite

Muzzey: From 100K samples - showed distribution of mutations in CAH. #ASHG15

2:58pm October 7th 2015 via Hootsuite

Muzzey: Seeing 93% of samples w/interchanged sequence between gene and pseudogene. Q319X + duplication 2% of pts, non-carrier #ASHG15

2:56pm October 7th 2015 via Hootsuite

Muzzey: Shows a 30kb deletion - collection of CN data, SNPs aren't informative as it is to large a region to span #ASHG15

2:54pm October 7th 2015 via Hootsuite

Muzzey: P31L mutation - shows example of carrier: CN of gene, CN of pseudogene across gene lengths, w/SNP data overlaid #ASHG15

2:54pm October 7th 2015 via Hootsuite

Muzzey: Key: Use SNP and CNV data and look for mis-match. Look where CN gene vs. CN of gene at site - part of pseudogene has moved #ASHG15

2:51pm October 7th 2015 via Hootsuite

Muzzey:CYP21A1P and CYP21A2 are highly homologous; 8 of 15 sites that distinguish gene/pseudogen are deleterious. Many FN results #ASHG15

2:50pm October 7th 2015 via Hootsuite

Muzzey CAH is the 7th most-common severe recessive disease; carrier rate is 1:60. Missing from 'nearly all commercial screens" #ASHG15
