Use of FFPE-derived DNA in next generation sequencing: DNA extraction methods.

ABSTRACT: Archival tissues represent a rich resource for clinical genomic studies, particularly when coupled with comprehensive medical records. Use of these in next generation sequencing (NGS) is a priority. Nine formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) DNA extraction methods were evaluated using twelve FFPE samples of varying tissue types. Quality assessment included total yield, percent dsDNA, fragment analysis and multiplex PCR. After assessment, three tissue types from four FFPE DNA methods were selected for NGS downstream evaluation, targeted and whole exome sequencing. In addition, two low input library protocols were evaluated for WES. Analysis revealed average coverage across the target regions for WES was ~20-30X for all four FFPE DNA extraction methods. For the targeted panels, the highest molecular tag coverage was obtained with the Kingfisher FFPE extraction method. The genotype concordance was 99% for the commonly called variant positions between all four extraction methods with the targeted PCR NGS panel and 96% with WES. Assessing quality of extracted DNA aids in selecting the optimal NGS approach, and the choice of both DNA extraction and library preparation approaches can impact the performance of archival tissue in NGS.

Project description:The WHO has endorsed the use of stool samples for diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) in children, and targeted next-generation sequencing (tNGS) of stool has been shown to support diagnosis and provide information about drug susceptibility (DS). Optimizing extraction of DNA from stool for sequencing is critical to ensure high diagnostic sensitivity and accurate DS information. Human stool samples were spiked with various concentrations of Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), and DNA was extracted from the samples using four different DNA extraction kits. Each sample was subjected to quantitative PCR for identifying Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex bacteria and underwent further analysis to assess the overall DNA yield, fragment length, and purity. This same process was performed with 10 pediatric participants diagnosed with pulmonary TB, and the samples underwent tNGS. The FastDNA spin kit for soil showed the best results on model samples spiked with known quantities of BCG, compared to the other extraction methods evaluated. For clinical samples, the FastDNA and PowerFecal Pro DNA (PowerFecal) kits both showed an increase in the overall DNA quantity, M. tuberculosis-specific DNA quantity, and successful targeted sequencing when testing was performed on stool samples, compared to the two other kits. Three samples extracted via PowerFecal and three samples extracted via FastDNA (from different patients) provided successful sequencing data, with an average depth of coverage of the rpoB region for FastDNA of 298 (range, 107 to 550) and for PowerFecal of 310 (range, 182 to 474), results that were comparable to one another (P = 0.946). The PowerFecal Pro and FastDNA spin kits were superior for extracting DNA from pediatric stool samples for tNGS. IMPORTANCE This is the first study to compare Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA extraction techniques from pediatric stool samples for use with sequencing technologies. It provides an important starting point for other researchers to isolate quality DNA for this purpose to further the field and to continue to optimize protocols and approaches.

Project description:BackgroundNext-generation sequencing (NGS), including whole genome sequencing (WGS) and whole exome sequencing (WES), is increasingly being used for clinic care. While NGS data have the potential to be repurposed to support clinical pharmacogenomics (PGx), current computational approaches have not been widely validated using clinical data. In this study, we assessed the accuracy of the Aldy computational method to extract PGx genotypes from WGS and WES data for 14 and 13 major pharmacogenes, respectively.MethodsGermline DNA was isolated from whole blood samples collected for 264 patients seen at our institutional molecular solid tumor board. DNA was used for panel-based genotyping within our institutional Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments- (CLIA-) certified PGx laboratory. DNA was also sent to other CLIA-certified commercial laboratories for clinical WGS or WES. Aldy v3.3 and v4.4 were used to extract PGx genotypes from these NGS data, and results were compared to the panel-based genotyping reference standard that contained 45 star allele-defining variants within CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP3A4, CYP3A5, CYP4F2, DPYD, G6PD, NUDT15, SLCO1B1, TPMT, and VKORC1.ResultsMean WGS read depth was >30x for all variant regions except for G6PD (average read depth was 29 reads), and mean WES read depth was >30x for all variant regions. For 94 patients with WGS, Aldy v3.3 diplotype calls were concordant with those from the genotyping reference standard in 99.5% of cases when excluding diplotypes with additional major star alleles not tested by targeted genotyping, ambiguous phasing, and CYP2D6 hybrid alleles. Aldy v3.3 identified 15 additional clinically actionable star alleles not covered by genotyping within CYP2B6, CYP2C19, DPYD, SLCO1B1, and NUDT15. Within the WGS cohort, Aldy v4.4 diplotype calls were concordant with those from genotyping in 99.7% of cases. When excluding patients with CYP2D6 copy number variation, all Aldy v4.4 diplotype calls except for one CYP3A4 diplotype call were concordant with genotyping for 161 patients in the WES cohort.ConclusionAldy v3.3 and v4.4 called diplotypes for major pharmacogenes from clinical WES and WGS data with >99% accuracy. These findings support the use of Aldy to repurpose clinical NGS data to inform clinical PGx.
