Next Generation Sequencing
Basics of NGS
• Fragmentation of DNA into a Library of smaller fragments.
• Libraries are then sequenced to be duplicated.
• Bioinformatics piece together the small fragments to create a map and reference it to the human genome.

PGD for aneuploidy and gene defects using NGS: Method
• With WGA only <10% is sequenced
• Solution: enrich the sequences of interest prior to NGS. An aliquot of the WGA product was used to amplify by PCR the CF ΔF508 mutation site on a cell line
• The gene was sequenced with a x30 depth
• All cells were found to be euploid and homozygotic for ΔF508.
• Conclusion: useful for DIRECT mutation analysis and aneuploid

Yin et al (2013) Biol Reprod 88, 69
• 38 blastocysts from 13 couples with structural chromosomal abnormalities
• Whole genome sequence by Illumina HiSeq2000
• Results: 0.07x depth with average 5.5% genome coverage
• 26 (68%) blastocysts euploid, 6 (16%) aneuploid, 4 (11%) unbalanced only, 2 (5%) unbalanced and aneuploid
• Highly concordant with SNP array results
Treff et al (2013) Fertility and Sterility 99, 1377-1384
• 21 blastocysts from couples at risk of cystic fibrosis and one of Walker-Warburg syndrome
• Whole genome amplification was followed by targeted Taqmanamplification of mutation site, sequenced by Ion Torrent and 8 barcoded samples per chip
• Real time qPCR used for 24 chromosome aneuploidy testing
• 17 (81%) blastocysts euploid, 4 (19%) aneuploid
• 100% concordance of mutation status with STR and minisequencing
PGD for aneuploidy and gene defects using NGS: Results
• A homozygotic cell line for ΔF508 was used
• The gene was sequenced with a x30 depth
• All cells were found to be euploid and homozygotic for ΔF508.
• Conclusion: this method can be use for DIRECT mutation analysis and aneuploid
• Other methods such as SNPs can only do haplotype analysis

Summary Next Gene Sequencing
Current Advantages:- Same resolution for chromosome abnormalities than aCGH- Detection of mitochondrial DNA: potentially useful- Simultaneous detection of aneuploidy and gene defects
Future advantages: - Whole gene sequencing
