Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of gene detection kits, and in particular to a hematopoietic stem cell transplantation matching and prognosis assessment kit and a method for using the kit. Background Art

[0002] With advances in haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, differences in HLA typing between donors and recipients have a significant impact on treatment outcomes. While existing PCR-SBT methods can perform two types of HLA typing, this approach cannot provide more precise typing to identify the optimal donor for multiple haploidentical siblings. Furthermore, in addition to HLA genes, other immune-related genes, such as KIR, MICA, and SUFU, are closely associated with a patient's immune status and post-transplantation risks. Post-transplant immune reconstitution is a complex process, with innate immunity being particularly crucial, directly impacting defenses against tumors and pathogens. Natural killer (NK) cell function depends on its education, and the presence of KIR receptors mediates the generation of alloreactive NK cell activity, which in turn influences the development of significant post-transplant complications such as infection and GVHD. To improve transplant success rates and reduce the risk of rejection, detailed genotyping analysis of both donors and recipients of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is crucial. These included HLA genotyping, KIR genotyping, MICA genotyping and its mutation analysis, and SUFU (suppressor of fusion) rs17114808 locus genotyping.

[0003] Chinese invention patent CN102877136B discloses a method and kit for constructing a DNA library based on genome simplification and second-generation sequencing in the field of biotechnology. This method and kit address the shortcomings of existing library construction methods and can be used for whole-genome SNP detection and genotyping of species with incomplete reference genomes, unclear research population pedigrees, and no haplotype maps. However, it focuses on whole-genome SNP detection and its application in species with incomplete reference genomes, and is less targeted to clinical transplantation scenarios.

[0022] 3. The kit of the present invention can obtain all exon sequences of HLA, KIR, MICA, and MICB genes, making typing more accurate and more precise.

[0023] 4. The kit of the present invention not only helps to predict and prevent graft-versus-host disease after transplantation, but also optimizes transplantation pretreatment and perioperative treatment plans, thereby bringing better prognosis to patients.

[0024] 5. The kit of the present invention is easy to use and has low cost. Compared with the tedious operation of detecting multiple genes separately in the past, the kit of the present invention only requires one test, which simplifies the detection process and improves the detection efficiency.

[0025] 6. During the use of the kit of the present invention, the required sample volume is smaller. The donor does not need to draw blood, but only needs to provide an oral swab to obtain the DNA sample volume required for the test. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Remove the supernatant. 6) Repeat steps 4-5 twice, washing the beads three times in total. 7) Keeping the sample on the magnetic rack, add 150μL of 80% ethanol to the PCR tube. Let it stand for 30 seconds, then completely remove the ethanol solution (a 10μL pipette can be used to remove any residue), and let it dry at room temperature. 8) Add 24μL of Nuclease-free Water to the PCR tube, remove the PCR tube from the magnetic rack, and gently pipette to resuspend the magnetic beads for later use.

[0078] 3.5. Post-capture PCR amplification

[0079] Take out the Post PCR Master Mix and Post PCR Primer from the -20°C freezer, place them on an ice box to thaw, mix well, and place on ice or at 4°C for later use. After capture, the DNA library needs to be amplified by PCR. Prepare the reaction system according to Table 7 below:

[0080] Table 7

[0081] Reagent Volume (μL) Sample after the previous step of reaction 24 PostPCRMasterMix 25 PostPCR Primer 1 Total volume 50

[0084] 3.6 Library Quantification

[0085] 1 μL of library was taken and the library concentration was measured using a Qubit 2.0 Fluorometer (Qubit dsDNA HS Assay Kit) and the library concentration was recorded. The library fragment length and purity were measured using the Qsep100 fully automated nucleic acid protein analysis system. The main peak length of a normal library was approximately between 330 bp and 450 bp.

[0086] 4. Library mixing and sequencing

[0087] Dilute each final library to 4 ng / μL. Based on the data volume for each project, add the corresponding volume of final library to a new 1.5 mL EP tube. Vortex thoroughly to mix, and then measure the library concentration. The sequencing data volume is 1 GB. Select the appropriate instrument for sequencing based on the final expected data volume.

[0088] 5 Bioinformatics Process Analysis

[0089] First, the raw sequencing data was processed using Fastp software to remove sequencing adapters and low-quality reads. The filtered reads were aligned to the human reference genome (hg38) using BWA-mem software. Next, the aligned bam files were sorted, deduplicated, and quality-corrected using GATK software. Finally, bioinformatics genotyping software was used to align the data with the IPD-IMGT / HLA database to obtain high-resolution HLA genotyping results.

[0090] Performance testing methods

[0091] 1. Validation of HLA and KIR genotyping: 29 samples (from Shanghai Sitai Medical Testing Laboratory) with known HLA and KIR genotyping results were tested using the methods of the examples. For HLA genotyping, as shown in Tables 8-10, the results for all 29 samples were consistent with the binary typing results obtained by PCR-SBT, and all samples had all HLA loci typed at once. For KIR genotyping, as shown in Tables 11 and 12, where "1" indicates that the sample contains the gene and "0" indicates that the sample does not contain the gene, the results for all 29 samples were consistent with the control results obtained by PCR-SSP. This demonstrates that the kit accurately performs typing.

[0092] 2. Quality Control Testing: 29 samples were subjected to quality control testing using the method described in the Example. As shown in Table 13, the quality control results all met the quality control requirements of average sequencing depth ≥1000, on-target rate ≥40%, sequencing alignment rate >80%, and uniformity >60%, indicating good performance of the kit. Simultaneously, sequencing results for specific loci of MICA, MICB, and SUFU rs171148083 from 29 samples were analyzed using IGV software. The sequencing depth of the relevant loci all met the analysis requirements (≥1000), and the results were reliable and without abnormalities.

[0093] 3. Detection injection volume (detection limit) test: Two detection limit samples (samples with known content) were used, with injection volumes of 5 ng, 10 ng, 20 ng, 50 ng, and 100 ng, respectively, for library construction. As shown in Table 14, according to the example method, the four samples of 5 ng and 10 ng failed to be constructed. The samples of 20 ng, 50 ng, and 100 ng for library construction were tested and all met the quality control standards. It can be seen that the detection limit of the present invention can reach 20 ng.
