Brief Summary

Chromosomal aberrations are major causes of developmental disorders (Intellectual disability (ID), multiple congenital anomalies (MCA), autism spectrum disorders (ASD)) as well as reproductive disorders (RD) in particular gametogenesis defects and recurrent miscarriages. Current first tier genetic investigations for chromosome analysis in clinical settings include karyotyping in case of RD (5 \~ 10% diagnosis rate) and chromosomal microarrays (CMA) in case of ID/MM (10 \~ 20% diagnosis rate). However, both assays show significant drawbacks, e.g. low resolution for karyotyping and inability to detect balanced structural rearrangement for CMA. Optical genome mapping and long read genome sequencing are emerging technologies that offer new opportunities to overcome these limitations and allow for a higher resolution chromosome analysis. This project aims at assessing the performance of optical mapping and long read whole genome sequencing compared to current gold standard cytogenetics methods in a prospective study. The investigator will evaluate their ability to become the all-in-one methodology for genomic analysis that could replace both karyotype and CMA and their added-value compared to these latter by uncovering new diagnoses.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Percentage of verified clinically significant chromosomal aberrations detected by Bionano® and Nanopore® compared to the percentage of those detected by karyotyping or CMA according to reason for referral.

    The significance of an aberration is assessed according to international guidelines, clinical history, as well as publications and public databases.

    Through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Incidence and distribution of different kinds of chromosomal aberrations per category of referral.

    Through study completion, an average of 1 year

  • Type of chromosome abnormalities that are overlooked by Bionano® and/or Nanopore® while detected by standard-of-care techniques

    Through study completion, an average of 1 year

  • Percentage of patients for which the detection of a chromosomal aberration by Bionano® or Nanopore® and not by karyotyping or CMA resulted in a change in the disease management

    Through study completion, an average of 1 year

  • Overall cost and benefit of each technique including delay to diagnosis and changes in the disease management

    Through study completion, an average of 1 year

Study Arms (1)

Patients referred for cytogenetic analysis

EXPERIMENTAL

Analysis of patient DNA with Optical Genome Mapping (Bionano®) and long read Sequencing (Nanopore®) in search for chromosome abnormalities (aneuploidies and SV)

Genetic: Optical Genome Mapping (Bionano®)Genetic: Longread sequencing (Nanopore®)

Interventions

Search for chromosome abnormalities through alteration of the optical map of the genome compared to reference genome using the Bionano® 's pipeline.

Patients referred for cytogenetic analysis

Search for chromosome abnormalities from the sequencing data obtain from high molecular weight DNA molecules using dedicated analysis pipeline.
