Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for detecting Fabry disease (FD) by using a third-generation long-read sequencing platform. GLA A primer set and method for detecting multiple mutations of a gene, and a kit suitable for the method. Background Art

[0002] Fabry disease (FD, OMIM 301500) is a rare X-linked lysosomal disorder caused by a gene encoding α-galactosidase A (α-Gal A). GLA The disease is caused by pathogenic mutations in the gene. The deficiency of α-GaIA leads to the accumulation of glycosphingolipids (mainly Gb3) and their derivatives, globulosphingosine (lyso-Gb3), in cells, tissues and organs (including kidneys, heart, central and peripheral nervous systems) throughout the body, thus causing blood circulation disorders and further leading to heart and kidney failure and nervous system disorders and death.

[0003] FD is an X-linked lysosomal disorder caused by GLA Caused by pathogenic variants in genes. GLA The gene consists of 7 exons and is approximately 10 kb in length. GLA The gene cDNA encodes a precursor protein of approximately 50 kDa (429 amino acids) that is proteolytically cleaved into the lysosomal mature protein.

[0004] About 3,000 species have been discovered so far. GLA Gene mutations, 60% of which are missense mutations, followed by nonsense mutations, gene deletions, gene insertions and splice site mutations, which cause frame shifts or signal peptide abnormalities and change the α-GaIA polypeptide sequence; in addition, large chromosome fragments are deleted, resulting in the entire GLA Gene deletion is also one of the causes of FD.

[0005] The diagnosis of Fabry disease abroad is confirmed by a combination of biochemical and molecular testing. First, biochemical diagnostic methods use ELISA, immunoassays and other methods to measure the protein content and activity of α-GaIA in plasma or peripheral blood leukocytes, urine, tears and cultured skin fibroblasts. Biochemical methods can directly detect the content and activity of α-GaIA protein in the human body, but the disadvantage of this method is that it is not suitable for detecting female carriers; secondly, it is impossible to know the exact site of the α-GaIA gene mutation.

[0006] In molecular testing, first-generation sequencing (Sanger) and second-generation sequencing (NGS) can detect GLA Point mutations and insertions and deletions of genes; however, Sanger sequencing can detect GLA The point mutation throughput is low and unknown mutations cannot be detected; however, the capture or long-fragment amplification process in NGS requires GLA Gene construction NGS sequencing library can be detected GLA Point mutations in genes are not compatible with other genetic tests and cannot be detected GLA Cis-trans information of gene mutations; not detected in whole exome sequencing (WES) of NGS GLA The introns of the gene will therefore be missed. GLA Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) can detect GLA Large fragments of the gene are missing, but this method requires simultaneous detection GLA The operation is cumbersome and cannot detect large quantities of samples at different sites upstream and downstream of the gene.

[0007] Currently, methods based on biochemical testing, first-generation sequencing or second-generation sequencing, and MLPA can achieve GLA Gene point mutation and large fragment deletion detection, but the detection has the following main limitations: 1. It is impossible to detect all mutation types simultaneously in the same system; 2. Biochemical testing cannot detect female carriers and the specific mutation type; 3. First-generation sequencing can only detect known point mutations, and has low throughput, and cannot detect insertion and deletion types; 4. Next-generation sequencing can detect GLA Different types of genes need to be tested in combination with different library construction methods, which is cumbersome and costly; 5. MLPA can only detect a few known point mutations and cannot determine the exact site of large fragment deletions. Summary of the invention

[0043] The fifth aspect of the present invention provides a method for simultaneously detecting multiple mutations of Fabry disease, comprising: (1) obtaining and preparing a sample from a subject; (2) performing long-fragment PCR amplification on the sample; (3) constructing a third-generation sequencing library; (4) sequencing and analyzing mutations; wherein the long-fragment PCR amplification is performed using the primer set described in the present invention or the kit described in the present invention.

[0046] The cis-trans configuration of a mutation refers to the relative relationship of the mutation positions in the genotype. A cis mutation is when two or more mutations are located on the same chromosome, i.e., they are on the same allele. In the cis case, if a gene has two mutations, both mutations are passed on to offspring together. The cis configuration may affect the function of the gene in some cases, for example, if both mutations are deleterious, they may have a more severe effect than either mutation alone. A trans mutation is when two or more mutations are located on different chromosomes, i.e., they are on different alleles. In the trans case, if an individual inherits two mutations from one parent, the two mutations are located on two different chromosomes. The trans configuration usually means that the mutations will not be passed on to offspring together unless chromosome exchange occurs (such as crossing over during meiosis). Therefore, detecting mutation cis-trans configuration is very important for understanding inheritance patterns and predicting the risk of genetic diseases. For example, for a recessive single gene disease, an individual with a cis mutation is a carrier. Since the two or more mutations are located on the same allele, they are not pathogenic, and these two or more mutations will not necessarily be passed on to offspring. However, an individual with a trans mutation is a patient with the recessive single gene disease. Since the two or more mutations are located on different alleles, they are pathogenic, and one of the two or more mutations will inevitably be passed on to offspring.

[0047] In some embodiments, the sample is selected from a biological sample or gDNA extracted from the biological sample; preferably, the biological sample comprises cultured cell lines, blood, amniotic fluid, chorionic villi, gametes, blastocyst cells, joint fluid, urine, sweat, saliva, feces, cerebrospinal fluid, ascites, pleural effusion, bile and pancreatic fluid.

[0048] In some embodiments, the long-fragment PCR amplification is performed in one reaction system.

[0049] In some embodiments, the sequencing module is selected from PacBio sequencing of Pacific Biosciences or Nanopore sequencing of ONT.

[0050] The present invention based on the specific combination of long-fragment PCR amplification and third-generation high-throughput sequencing can detect FD pathogenic genes in multiple samples simultaneously with high specificity, accuracy and rapidity. GLA Various related mutations.

[0051] The excellent technical effects of the method and kit of the present invention are mainly in the following aspects: (1) Wide detection range. The present invention can simultaneously detect all the FDs that have been discovered. GLA Point mutations, insertions and deletions of genes, as well as large deletions of about 400kb within the range of GLA-Gap primers.

[0052] (2) Detection of multiple mutation types in a single system. Traditional methods require a detection system to be set up for each mutation type, while the present invention detects multiple mutations simultaneously in one reaction primer system, including GLA Point mutations, insertions and deletions, and large deletions of genes.

[0053] (3) Low false positive and missed detection rates. Currently, the most common method for detecting FD is biochemical testing, while the first-generation sequencing in the molecular diagnosis of FD cannot be applied on a large scale and has a small detection range; the second-generation sequencing process for FD detection is more complicated, and the judgment of the mutation structure type (mutation cis-trans, gene insertion and deletion information, etc.) is not very clear; MLPA can only detect known point mutations and large fragment deletions, and the process is complicated and cannot be applied on a large scale; the present invention can detect the above mutation types at the same time, and the judgment is more accurate and comprehensive.

[0054] (4) Sample diversification. The template used for PCR can be peripheral blood, dried blood spots or extracted genomic DNA, or human cell lines or other specific tissues.

[0055] (5) High-throughput detection. The third-generation sequencing can realize 384 kinds of barcode adapters. In fact, more barcode adapters can be designed according to needs. Or a dual barcode system with primers and adapters can be used to achieve more barcode combinations. The high-throughput characteristics of the third-generation sequencing platform determine that high-throughput sample detection can be achieved.

[0056] (6) High accuracy. PacBio's dumbbell-shaped library can be read multiple times during sequencing, and the base accuracy of the sequencing results after correction is greater than 99%. In addition, PacBio sequencing errors are random, and the base accuracy is greater than 99.9% after correction through sequencing depth. Therefore, gene mutations within the primer detection range can be accurately read.

[0057] (7) Flexible detection time. The Nanopore platform can generate data within minutes, and data analysis can be started within minutes or hours depending on the actual data volume. When the detection timeliness requirements are relatively high, the Nanopore platform has a time advantage. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
