1 The NGS Era is Now Eric T. Weimer, PhD, D(ABMLI)
Assistant Professor, Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, UNC School of Medicine Director, Molecular Immunology Associate Director, Clinical Flow Cytometry, HLA, and Immunology Laboratories at UNC Health Care

2 CONFLICT OF INTEREST I have financial relationship(s) with:
Advisory Board, Illumina AND My presentation does include discussion of off-label use. Commercial reagents for HLA typing by NGS are labeled for research use only, however I will be discussing the clinical application of these reagents

3 Outline General NGS background and terms
HLA region targeted enrichment NGS library preparation methodologies NGS chemistries NGS instrumentation and costs NGS data analysis

4 HLA Background Most polymorphic genes in the human genome
Inherited as haplotypes Co-dominantly expressed

5 Why use NGS for HLA? Sanger sequencing identified >10,000 alleles
< 10% fully sequenced < 10% “common” > 40% have only been reported once High-throughput unambiguous typing Most NGS errors are substitutions

6 Role of HLA Matching in BMT
70% of patients won’t have donor in their family Spieser et al. Blood, Vol 87, No : pp

7 Next-generation Sequencing Terms
Massively parallel sequencing: a technique in which many sequencing reactions occur and are detected simultaneously Library generation: process of creating DNA fragments with adapter sequences on both ends Adapters: short oligonucleotides that are attached to DNA to be sequenced and provide a mean to capture the sequence on platform Barcodes/Indices: molecular tagging of samples with unique sequence-based codes (~3+ bp) Coverage: percentage of bases called at predetermined depth with HLA Depth: number of individual sequence reads that align to a particular nucleotide Paired-end read mapping: independent read that are derived from the same library fragment

8 Why use NGS for HLA? Sanger sequencing identified >14,000 alleles
< 10% fully sequenced < 10% “common” > 40% have only been reported once High-throughput unambiguous typing Up to 384 patients within a single NGS run Sequencing clinically relevant areas UTRs and intron-exon boundary As of October 6, 2016, 18 ASHI accredited labs for NGS

9 Basic Principles of NGS
Generate PCR amplicons Fragment DNA Prep fragments for sequencing (library prep) Immobilize on solid substrate Perform in situ clonal amplification Detect sequential incorporation of nucleotides (chemiluminesence, fluorescence, pH change) Applies to Ion Torrent and Illumina platforms Voelkerding, Dames, Durtschi. J Mol Diagn. 2010 Sep;12(5):539-51

10 High Quality DNA input = High Quality data out
Varying DNA quantity requirements (40-400ng total DNA) Quality of DNA is independent of quantity High quality DNA increases likelihood of successful sequencing run and higher quality data Quality most often determined by DNA fragmentation ssDNA and protein contamination NGS requires quantifying dsDNA UV absorption (Nanodrop) Intercalating dyes (QuBit, SYBR Green, QuantiFluor) 5’ hydrolysis probes (Taqman) with real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) Droplet digital emulsion PCR (ddPCR)

11 NanoDrop vs QuBit Significant DNA quantitation differences between NanoDrop and QuBit NanoDrop (UV adsorption) less specific for dsDNA compared to QuBit Simbolo et al. PLoS One. 2013; 8(6): e62692

12 DNA Fragment Size Heavily fragmentation specimens can’t be amplified by long-range PCR DPB1 PCR product can be up to 10,000 bp Most often from buccal swabs TapeStation or BioAnalyzer DNA size

13 Target Enrichment: HLA Region
Commercial reagents utilize long-range PCR Multiplex PCR combining different HLA gene combinations Hybrid capture probes “Pull” out specific regions of interest Doesn’t require amplification

15 Nextera based library preparation: “Tagmentation”
Simultaneous DNA fragmentation and adaptor ligation Less hands-on time Very sensitive to amount of DNA and incubation time Head et al. Biotechniques. 2014 Feb 1;56(2):61-4

23 Benefits of Paired-end Sequencing
Sequencing both end of single DNA molecule Allows for better alignment over repetitive regions (homopolymer) Don’t necessarily overlap 300 bp 800 bp

24 NGS Quality Scores Quality scores the probability that a base is called incorrectly Each base in a read is assigned a quality score by a phred-like algorithm UNC NGS average: 95.6% ± 0.96 ≥Q30 The Relationship Between Quality Score and Base Call Accuracy Quality Score Probability of Incorrect Base Call Inferred Base Call Accuracy 10 (Q10) 1 in 10 90% 20 (Q20) (Sanger) 1 in 100 99% 30 (Q30) (NGS) 1 in 1000 99.90% 40 (Q40) 1 in 10,000 99.99%
