Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of genetic testing and in particular to a method of 5 detecting the presence or absence of a given genotype or genotypes in the genome of a foetus by testing a sample during pregnancy from the maternal circulation.
  • the present invention is based upon the discovery of a method for detecting the presence or absence of a given genotype(s) (as hereinafter defined) in the genome of a foetus by testing a sample
  • ⁇ Q hereinafter defined in the genome of a foetus, which comprises subjecting foetal nucleic acid obtained from the maternal circulation to amplification, in the absence of nucleic acid foreign to the foetus and to the mother, such foreign nucleic acid being capable of
  • genotype as used herein means the genetic constitution of a cell which is responsible for or contributory to a recognisable phenotype.
  • the expression "genotype” thus encompasses for example, genetic sequences characteristic of male sex (Y chromosome) and genetic variants responsible for or contributory to disease, for example genetic disorders such as cystic fibrosis and the thalassaemias as well as predisposition to disease such as coronary heart disease and cancers.
  • the foetal nucleic acid subjected to amplification is not contaminated with foreign nucleic acid which foreign nucleic acid is capable of amplification under the amplification conditions employed.
  • amplification is effected by use of the polymerase chain reaction and appropriate primers are employed for the amplification of foetal nucleic acid it is irrelevant that foreign nucleic acid may be present which is incapable of amplification in the presence of the aforementioned primers, but it is important that foreign nucleic acid which is capable of amplification in the presence of such primers is absent.
  • Foreign nucleic acid which should be absent from the material to be amplified would be foreign in the sense that it would be foreign to both the foetus and to the mother. The presence of such foreign nucleic acid in a sample to be amplified may give rise to erroneous results.
  • the target nucleic acid sequence may be any sequence which is specific to the foetus.
  • the sequence may be present in multiple copies but the present invention can also be applied to single copy foetal sequences allowing for prenatal diagnosis of single gene disorders.
  • the target sequence may be any Y-chromosome specific nucleic acid sequence.
  • the sequence may be present in multiple copies as illustrated in Example 1 below or as a single copy sequence as shown in Example 2. If the mother tested is bearing a male foetus the target sequence will be amplified to give a positive result, a female foetus will result in no DNA amplification.
  • extracted nucleic acid preferably DNA be used.
  • nucleic acids comprising repetitive sequences; the use of extracted DNA rather than whole cells, may also increase sensitivity since in
  • Example 1 referred to hereinafter the Y-specific sequence chosen is present as a tandem array of 800- 5000 subunits (see Nakahori Y. e_£. al- "A human Y- chromosome specific repeated DNA family (DYZI) " consists of a tandem array of pentanucleotides,
  • nucleic Acids Res. 1986; ⁇ , 7569-7580 which is broken up into much smaller subunits and dispersed into solution by the extraction procedure.
  • nucleic acids comprising repetitive sequences
  • the nucleic acid from the rare foetal cells be mixed thoroughly with the maternal nucleic acid and such mixing may for example also be effected by vortexing.
  • the foetal nucleic acid is subjected to at least two rounds of amplification in order to increase the sensitivity of the method. It is advantageous however that no more than two rounds of amplification are employed since further rounds of amplification compound the risk of detection of contamination of the foetal nucleic acid with foreign nucleic acid.
  • each round of amplification will consist of multiple cycles of heating and cooling and the terms "round” and "cycle” are used in this context throughout the specification.
  • Amplification may be effected according to the method described by Klappe K. e_t. al- in J. Mol. Biol.
  • PCR polymerase chain reaction
  • linear amplification is used herein to refer to amplification using a single primer for each diagnostic portion in the presence of agent for polymerisation and appropriate nucleoside triphosphates whereby amplification is effected by primer extension based on the use of a single strand of sample nucleic acid as template.
  • An important feature of the application of PCR to this method of the present invention is the need to avoid contamination. Another important feature is that the present invention requires that two rounds of PCR are effected (dual PCR amplification) . This is preferably achieved using 2 pairs of nested amplification primers. It is important that the degree of specificity of the primers is as high as possible. If the primers are not specific the number of cycles of PCR which can be effected without producing false positives will be reduced i.e. sensitivity will be reduced. This is particularly important when amplifying sequences present in low copy numbers.
  • the ability to detect male foetuses allows one to advise mother bearing male foetuses to have further more invasive diagnostic tests such as chorionic villus sampling and amniocentesis. Mothers bearing female foetuses could be spared the potential dangers of such invasive procedures.
  • the present invention thus permits genetic analysis of the foetus by the use of maternal blood without the requirement of first separating foetal and maternal cells.
  • the method of the present invention may be of interest in the prenatal diagnosis of sex-linked conditions such as haemophilia where, if desired, chorionic villus sampling or amniocentesis could subsequently be performed to allow further analysis depending on the predicted sex of the foetus. It may also be possible to determine the presence in the foetus of a dominant condition carried by the father by analysis of amplified paternal derived sequences in foetal DNA. Such mutations may be detected using the amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS) . The use of this amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS) as described in Nucleic Acids Research Vol. 17, No. 7 1989 p2503-2516 and as described and claimed in European Patent Publication No. 332435. The present invention may also be useful in the veterinary field where sexing of the foetus is of wide practical importance.
  • sex-linked conditions such as haemophilia
  • the method of the present invention is however of wider applicability than the prenatal diagnosis of sex-linked conditions since it is possible to selectively eliminate maternal nucleic acid from a mixture of maternal and foetal cells for example by the discriminatory use of acid or alkali media, by the use of antibodies, for example improved monoclonal antibodies capable of binding either maternal or foetal cells, by the discriminatory use of osmotic shock, by the discriminatory use of heat and/or by the discriminatory use of lysing agents such as dithiothreitol (DTT) .
  • acid or alkali may be used to lyse maternal cells whilst leaving foetal cells intact.
  • This may be performed by adding an ever increasing quantity of acid or alkali to a mixture of maternal and foetal cells and determining the quantity of acid or alkali necessary to lyse maternal cells whilst leaving foetal cells intact.
  • Examples of this type of differential lysis experiment are well known, for instance in this area of forensic medicine where various concentrations of dithiothreitol. DTT may be used to effect selective lysis of blood or sperm cells from mixtures of the two allowing DNA specimens from either cell type in the mixture to be separately prepared (Hopkins B. e_£. al- Technique November 1989; and Gill e_i. al- Nature Vol. 318, pages 577-579, 1985).
  • These techniques may be of use in the separation of foetal cells from maternal cells or in the relative enrichment of the foetal component in a mixture of maternal and foetal cells. Where foetal cells are separated from maternal cells prenatal diagnosis of genetic disorders and predispositions other than sex-linked conditions becomes possible.
  • the present invention also allows an estimation to be made of the number of foetal cells per unit volume of maternal blood.
  • an estimation of the number of circulating foetal cells may be made.
  • the DNA sample may either be undiluted or diluted by a known factor. This approach is based on the Poisson ' s distribution, which states that:
  • n the actual number of foetal cells in an aliquot for PCR
  • the proportion of reactions that fail to generate a signal may be approximated to P(0), and using equation (2) the mean number of foetal cells in the starting DNA sample may be calculated.
  • the proportion of negative reactions is only an approximation because it is known that occasional PCR may fail sporadically.
  • the proportion of sporadic PCR failure may be taken into account, e.g., by running a series of control tubes to estimate the failure rate.
  • PCR is carried out using the dual amplification system with primers Y1.5/1.6 (40 cycles) followed by Y1.7/1.8 (25 cycles). (Primer sequences are given in Example 2) . Summing up the three early pregnancy cases, the proportion of negative results is 50%. Thus,
  • our method may aid in the study of the physiology of feto-maternal cell trafficking.
  • the number of foetal cells in maternal blood can be correlated to events in individual pregnancies e.g. the development of preeclampsia or placental insufficiency.
  • this system may be useful for the assessment of placental function.
  • Figure 1 shows the relative positions of the primers Y1.1 , Y1.2, Y1.3 and Y1.4 and of a 102 base- pair fragment flanked by the latter pair.
  • the primers Y1 •1 and Y1.2 flank a 149 base-pair fragment of a Y- specific repeat sequence (see Kogan K. C. ⁇ i. al- "An improved method for prenatal diagnosis of genetic diseases by analysis of amplified DNA sequences". N. Engl. J. Med. 1987; JUZ, 985-990).
  • each DNA sample was vortexed for 30 seconds in order to achieve partial shearing (fragmentation) f long strands of DNA and to allow DNA from the rare foetal cells to mix thoroughly with maternal DNA.
  • a human Y-chromosome specific repeated DNA family (DYZI)a consists of a tandem array of pentanucleotides, Nucleic Acids Res. 1986; 14: 7569-80) . The relative positions of these primers are illustrated in Figure 1. Fifteen to twenty cycles were performed for this second amplification step using the same cycling parameters as above. Ten ⁇ 1 of PCR product were then analysed on an ethidium bromide stained agarose gel. Reagents, including the Taq DNA polymerase (5 units per 100 ⁇ l reaction) were obtained from a Perkin-Elmer Cetus GeneAmp DNA Amplification Reagent Kit. Thermal cycling was performed using a Hybaid Intelligent Heating Block.
  • PCR reagents including the Taq polymerase were also routinely incubated with EcoRI (30 units per 100 ⁇ l PCR reagents) for 2 hours at 37° just prior to amplification. EcoRI was chosen as it cleaves inside the 149 base-pair region delineated by primers Y1.1 and Y1.2.
  • the restriction enzyme was then destroyed by heating at 94 C for 10 minutes before the addition of DNA samples.

  • Y1.7 and Y1.8 flank a 198 base pairs sequence internal to Y1.5 and Y1.6 and were designed from published sequence (Arnemann e_£. al. ) .
