Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of disease diagnosis, specifically relating to primer sets, reagent kits, and applications for screening patients with autism spectrum disorder. Background Technology

[0002] Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that typically begins around age 3 and lasts a lifetime, posing a significant threat to families and society. ASD is characterized by clear social impairments, repetitive behaviors, narrow interests, and language and communication difficulties. Currently, there is no effective treatment for ASD; treatment primarily relies on behavioral therapy. Therefore, early screening and diagnosis are a shared goal of both patients and doctors, and can significantly improve the prognosis for children with autism. However, in practice, the lack of readily available objective markers for ASD presents considerable challenges to diagnosis.

[0003] Autism spectrum disorder has a high heritability, and studies have shown a close correlation between genetic factors causing neurodevelopmental abnormalities and the onset of autism. Epidemiological data show that the concordance rate of autism is as high as 92% in monozygotic twins, while it is only 10% in dizygotic twins. The concordance rate among siblings of affected children is 2-8%, which is 20-80 times higher than in the general population. While the heritability of autism is as high as 80-90%, its inheritance pattern is complex and does not conform to Mendelian inheritance laws; it is a polygenic inherited disease. Therefore, combined testing of multiple risk genes holds promise for early screening of the risk of developing autism spectrum disorder.

[0004] Currently, there are no specialized early screening devices for the genetic risk of autism on the market. Current genetic testing for individuals mainly relies on genotyping methods based on single loci. For example, DNA molecules are extracted from peripheral blood or saliva samples from patients, and then genotyping is performed using methods such as quantitative real-time PCR or nucleic acid mass spectrometry to analyze different detection loci. Furthermore, most of these methods target rare autism-related variants. While this approach is advantageous for detecting mutations at single loci, testing only a few loci has the drawback of being incomplete and unable to accurately determine the actual function of the gene. Invention Overview

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is how to screen patients with autism spectrum disorder in the Han Chinese population, and provides susceptibility loci for early clinical screening of autism spectrum disorder in the Han Chinese population.

[0007] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention first provides a primer set, named Primer Set 1, which consists of 264 single-stranded DNA strands as shown in SEQ ID No. 1 to SEQ ID No. 264.

[0008] The primers with sequence numbers 2n-1 and 2n in primer set 1 form a primer pair for amplifying the same DNA fragment, where n is a natural number between 1 and 66.

[0009] The molar ratio of each single-stranded DNA in primer set 1 can be equal.

[0010] The present invention also provides another primer set, named primer set 2, which is obtained by adding fixed sequence 1 to the 5′ end of primers with odd sequence numbers in primer set 1 and fixed sequence 2 to the 5′ end of primers with even sequence numbers in primer set 1; fixed sequence 1 is different from fixed sequence 2, and both are used for further amplification of the PCR product of primer set 1.

[0011] The purpose of the fixed sequence 1 and the fixed sequence 2 is to allow the addition of the same fragment upstream and downstream of the PCR product of primer set 1 during PCR amplification using primer set 2. This facilitates further amplification of the PCR product of primer set 2 using the same primers (i.e., the universal primer pair hereinafter referred to as primers). There are no special requirements for the sequences of fixed sequence 1 and fixed sequence 2, as long as they meet the above objectives.

[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, the sequence of fixed sequence 1 is SEQ ID No. 265 in the sequence list, and the sequence of fixed sequence 2 is SEQ ID No. 266 in the sequence list.

[0013] The molar ratio of each single-stranded DNA in primer set 2 can be equal.

[0014] Both primer set 1 and primer set 2 can be used to diagnose or assist in the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder, screen or assist in the screening of patients with autism spectrum disorder, detect the severity of autism spectrum disorder, or detect the genetic risk of autism spectrum disorder.

[0015] The present invention also provides a kit, named kit 1, which contains the primer set 1.

[0016] The present invention also provides another kit, named kit 2, which contains the primer set 2.

[0017] The above-mentioned kit 2 may also contain a universal primer pair, which is used to identify the fixed sequence 1 and the fixed sequence 2 in order to further amplify the PCR product of the primer set 2.

[0018] The primers of the universal primer pair may contain tag sequences to facilitate the differentiation of different samples.

[0019] In one embodiment of the present invention, the universal primer pair consists of two single-stranded DNAs as shown in SEQ ID No. 267 and SEQ ID No. 268.

[0020] The above-mentioned kits 1 and 2 may also contain a data conversion device, which is used to convert the detection results of the SNP combination into an autism spectrum disorder score, which is used for the diagnosis, screening, disease severity assessment or genetic risk assessment of autism spectrum disorder.

[0084] Example 1: Preparation of a kit for screening patients with autism spectrum disorder

[0085] Step 1: Initial screening of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Using existing SNPs from the European population autism genome-wide association database (PGC, https: / / pgc.unc.edu / ), a significance p-value of less than 5 x 10^E6 was used as the screening criterion. Combined with the results of whole-genome sequencing of autism in the Han Chinese population (The 1000 Genomes Project Consortium. A global reference for human genetic variation. Nature 526, 68–74 (2015). https: / / doi.org / 10.1038 / nature15393), 3582 SNPs were identified with identical polymorphic sites (minimum allele frequency MAF > 0.05).

[0086] Step 2: Determination of single nucleotide polymorphism sites. The 3582 single nucleotide polymorphism sites obtained in the initial screening in Step 1 were sorted from smallest to largest according to the significance p value. The linkage disequilibrium coefficient between different sites was calculated based on the linkage disequilibrium data of the Han Chinese population genome. Sites with high linkage disequilibrium were removed according to the coefficient LD>0.5, and the final number of sites was determined to be 134.

[0087] Step 3: Design primers. Amplify the capture region by designing amplification primers upstream and downstream of each SNP site, including at least 50 bp fragments upstream and downstream of each single nucleotide polymorphism site. Primer length is between 18-35 bp, and amplicon size is 100-200 bp. The final number of successfully designed primers is 132 sites.

[0227] The kit prepared in this embodiment for screening patients with autism spectrum disorder contains primer set 2 and universal primer pairs.

[0228] Example 2: Detection of the severity of autism spectrum disorder in the test subjects

[0229] The participants included 737 individuals with autism spectrum disorder and 2,870 healthy individuals, and were matched by gender.

[0230] Inclusion criteria for patients with autism spectrum disorder: A diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder by at least two experienced psychiatrists based on the criteria defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-V), and simultaneously meeting the following criteria: an Autism Behavior Checklist (ABC) score ≥53 and a Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) score >36. To ensure homogeneity of the study participants, only individuals diagnosed with autism were included, excluding those with Asperger syndrome and pervasive developmental disorder-not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS); those with phenylketonuria, fragile X syndrome, tuberous sclerosis or other neurological disorders, and those with severe physical illnesses or chromosomal abnormalities were also excluded.

[0231] Inclusion criteria for healthy individuals: those who do not meet the diagnostic criteria for autism as defined in DSM-V.

[0232] The following steps were taken to test the subjects using the kit for screening patients with autism spectrum disorder as described in Example 1:

[0233] Step 1: Building the library.

[0234] Venous blood was collected from the subjects to be tested, and then total DNA was extracted from peripheral blood mononuclear cells to obtain DNA samples. The first round of target-specific amplification was performed using primer set 2 from the kit in Example 1, followed by a second round of universal amplification using universal primer pairs to complete target site enrichment and high-throughput sequencing library construction. The obtained products were purified, electrophoresed, and subjected to concentration quality control before proceeding to the next step.

[0235] The first round of target-specific amplification system consisted of 10 μL of the DNA sample to be tested, 12.5 μL of PCR Enzyme Mix, 0.5 μL of PCRClean Enzyme, and 2 μL of Custom Panel PCR Primer Pool. The Custom Panel PCR Primer Pool was prepared by equal molar amounts of the 264 primers from primer set 2.

[0236] First-round target-specific amplification conditions: 105℃ heat capping; 37℃ for 5 min, 95℃ for 10 min, 1 cycle; 95℃ for 20 s, 62℃ for 1 min, 58℃ for 1 min, 72℃ for 30 s, 10 cycles; 4℃ hold.

[0237] The second-round universal amplification system consisted of: 11.5 μL of purified first-round target-specific amplification product, 4 μL of PCR Barcode Primer Mix, 12.5 μL of PCR Enzyme Mix, 0.5 μL of PCR Clean Enzyme, 0.5 μL of PCR Additive, and 2 μL of Custom Panel PCR Block. The PCR Barcode Primer Mix was prepared from universal primers 1 and 2, each with different barcode tags, in equimolar amounts. The barcode tags in universal primer 1 varied depending on the target organism.

[0238] Second round of general amplification conditions: 105℃ hot cap; 37℃ for 5 min, 95℃ for 10 min, 1 cycle; 95℃ for 20 s, 62℃ for 1 min, 58℃ for 1 min, 72℃ for 30 s, 27 cycles; 4℃ hold.

[0239] Among them, PCR Enzyme Mix, PCR Clean Enzyme, PCR Additive, and Custom Panel PCRBlock are all products of MGI Tech (MGI) ATOPlex.

[0240] Step 2: Sequencing.

[0241] All samples were mixed in equal molar amounts to prepare DNB, which was then loaded onto a sequencing chip for paired-end PE150 sequencing.

[0242] Step 3: Data reading.

[0243] Sequencing data (FASTQ file) is obtained, and the sequencing data is compared with a reference genome to analyze single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Specifically, the FASTQ file is compared with a human GRCh38 version reference genome to obtain a BAM file. Low-quality sequencing data is filtered out, and then the BAM file is loaded and analyzed using an IGV genome visualization browser to obtain the occurrence of gene polymorphisms and structural variations. If different bases or sequences appear in the sequenced gene sequence set compared to the reference genome, the polymorphism is interpreted as occurring at the specific site.

[0244] Genotyping was performed on 132 SNP loci in the subjects to be tested, and the correlation between each SNP locus and autism spectrum disorder was analyzed. The results are shown in Table 1. In Table 1, PP represents the physical position of the SNP locus.

[0245] Table 1. Correlation analysis between each SNP locus and autism spectrum disorder.

[0246]

[0247]

[0248]

[0249] Step 4: Genetic risk assessment.

[0250] For feature selection, all SNP genotyping features were used to maximize the utilization of available information. During data standardization, StandardScaler was employed to standardize the SNP feature data, eliminating dimensional differences between different features and ensuring convergence speed and stability during model training. To address class imbalance, Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) was used to increase the number of minority class samples by generating new samples, thereby balancing the class distribution in the dataset and improving the model's predictive ability for the minority class. After data preprocessing, the dataset was divided into training and test sets in a 7:3 ratio to ensure that a standardized dataset was used for model training and evaluation.

[0251] Referring to the polygenic risk scoring method, various classification models were designed based on the significance of the association between different susceptibility risk loci and the disease (Table 1), including Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest, Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), Gradient Boosting, and Multilayer Perceptron (MLP). By using multiple models to classify the data from different perspectives, model selection bias was reduced. During model training and evaluation, the performance of each model was evaluated using metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, area under the curve (AUC), and cross-validation F1. These evaluation metrics reflect the model's performance on unknown data, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of each model's capabilities. To avoid overfitting, 5-fold cross-validation was performed, and the average F1 score was calculated to further assess the model's robustness. The evaluation metrics and cross-validation results of each model were compiled and a performance comparison bar chart was drawn. Figure 1 These charts, based on the test set results, visually demonstrate the performance of different models on various metrics.

[0252] The six learning models performed differently across multiple evaluation metrics. Precision represents the proportion of correctly classified cases; SVM performed best with a score of 0.94, indicating very strong overall classification performance. Precision measures the proportion of samples predicted as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) that were actually diagnosed with ASD; SVM's precision of 0.94 demonstrates its high accuracy in predicting ASD. Recall reflects the model's ability to identify all samples that actually have ASD; SVM's recall of 0.94 indicates it can accurately identify ASD samples. The F1 score is the harmonic mean of precision and recall; SVM's F1 score of 0.94 shows a good balance between precision and recall. AUC measures the model's ability to distinguish between ASD and healthy individuals; MLP had the highest AUC at 0.98, indicating strong discriminative ability. Cross-validation F1 score is used to evaluate the stability of the model under different data partitions. MLP's cross-validation F1 score is 0.94, demonstrating high stability and generalization ability. Overall, SVM performs well across all metrics, especially in accuracy and AUC, while MLP excels in stability and generalization ability.

[0253] In addition, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted. Figure 2 ) and precision-recall curve (PR curve) ( Figure 3 The performance of each model was further evaluated at different thresholds to help select the optimal model.

[0254] Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves illustrate the trade-off between the False Positive Rate (FPR) and True Positive Rate (TPR) of multiple classification models, aiming to evaluate the classification performance of different models. The X-axis represents the false positive rate, i.e., the proportion of healthy individuals incorrectly predicted as having autism spectrum disorder, and the Y-axis represents the true positive rate, i.e., the proportion of samples correctly identified as having autism spectrum disorder. Ideally, the model curve should be as close as possible to the upper left corner, indicating that the model has a high true positive rate and a low false positive rate. The diagonal line represents the baseline for random guessing; any curve above this line indicates that the model has a certain discriminative ability. By comparing the AUC values ​​of each model, the performance of the model can be visually evaluated; the closer the AUC value is to 1, the better the model's classification performance. According to the performance in the figure, MLP and SVM both achieved an AUC value of 0.98, showing the most outstanding performance and demonstrating their excellent performance in the autism spectrum disorder classification task. Both Random Forest and Gradient Boosting achieved an AUC of 0.96, demonstrating stable and excellent performance with strong generalization ability. XGBoost, with an AUC of 0.95, still exhibited high classification efficiency. In contrast, Logistic Regression, with an AUC of 0.88, performed weaker, indicating limited classification ability in this task. Overall, the ROC curves provided a reliable basis for model selection, supporting the choice of the most suitable classification model in practical applications.

[0255] The precision-recall curve illustrates the trade-off between precision and recall for various classification models, aiming to evaluate their classification performance at different thresholds. The X-axis represents recall, the proportion of correctly identified autism spectrum disorder (ASPD) samples, while the Y-axis represents precision, the proportion of correctly predicted ASPD out of all predicted ASPD. Ideally, a model should maintain a balance between high precision and high recall. The graph shows that MLP and SVM perform better overall, maintaining high precision across a wider recall range. RandomForest, XGBoost, and Gradient Boosting also perform well, but their precision decreases at high recall. Logistic Regression performs relatively poorly, especially with a significant drop in precision at high recall. This graph provides important guidance for selecting a model suitable for specific needs, particularly in ASPD prediction applications where a balance between precision and recall is required.

[0256] In summary, among all six models, SVM performed the best, demonstrating superior classification capabilities, particularly in several key performance metrics. SVM excelled in accuracy (0.94), precision (0.94), recall (0.94), and F1 score (0.94), indicating its ability to provide stable and efficient predictive performance while balancing precision and recall. Furthermore, SVM's AUC (0.98) approached 1, demonstrating its strong ability to distinguish between individuals with autism spectrum disorder and healthy individuals, making it an ideal choice for practical applications. Although MLP slightly outperformed SVM in AUC and cross-validation F1 score, exhibiting stronger discriminative ability and better stability, SVM's balance between precision and recall made it more suitable for autism spectrum disorder prediction tasks. Early diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder is crucial for patient intervention, and SVM, while ensuring high recall, also maintains high precision, avoiding excessive false positives. Therefore, SVM provides an ideal solution to effectively identify patients with autism spectrum disorder while reducing unnecessary misdiagnosis.

[0257] In this invention, SVM has been proven to be the optimal classification model, particularly suitable for practical applications requiring high precision and recall, and can provide strong support for early screening and risk assessment of autism spectrum disorder. Therefore, by establishing an SVM fitting model, different weight levels are set for different susceptibility risk sites and assigned corresponding score values ​​to estimate the severity of the disease in each individual. This invention can help individuals with autism spectrum disorder understand their risk of developing the disorder and take appropriate preventative interventions, such as early behavioral interventions to improve disease prognosis.
