High Resolution Mapping of DNA Copy Alterations in Human Chromosome 22 Using High Density Tiling Oligonucleotide Arrays


ABSTRACT: Deletions and amplifications of the human genomic sequence (Copy Number Polymorphisms, or 'CNPs') are the cause for numerous diseases and a potential cause of phenotypic variation in the normal population. Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH) has been developed as a useful tool for detecting alterations in DNA copy number that involve blocks of DNA several kilobases or greater in size. We have developed High-Resolution CGH (HR-CGH) to detect accurately and with relatively little bias the presence and extent of chromosomal aberrations in human DNA. Maskless array synthesis was used to construct arrays containing 393,000 oligonucleotides with isothermal probes of 45-85 bp in length; arrays tiling the β-globin locus and chromosome 22q were prepared. Arrays with 9 bp tiling path were used to map a 622 bp heterozygous deletion in the β-globin locus. Arrays with an 85 bp tiling path were used to analyze DNA from patients with copy number changes in the pericentromeric region of chromosome 22. Heterozygous deletions and duplications as well as partial triploidies and partial tetraploidies of portions of chromosome 22q were mapped with high resolution in each patient, and the precise breakpoint of two deletions was confirmed by DNA sequencing. Additional peaks potentially corresponding to known and novel additional CNPs were also observed. Our results demonstrate that HR-CGH allows the detection of copy-number changes in any given region of the human genome comprehensively and at an unprecedented level of resolution. Keywords: high resolution comparative genome hybridization (HR-CGH)
