Clinical Trial Summary

The purprose of this study is to develop and validate an analytical NIPD test for triplet repeat disesases by NGS analysis from maternal blood, searching for the familial mutation in families at risk of having one of the following triplet repeat diseases: Huntington's disease, Myotonic dystrophy, Fragile X syndrome.. A comparison of two 3rd generation long fragment DNA sequencing techniques will be performed. These methods are based of the phasing techniques of parental haplotypes without the proband.


Description:

Context: The ability to sequence fetal cfDNA has led to exciting new developments for the non-invasive genetic diagnosis of monogenic diseases (DPNI_MGR). Various tests are proposed for diseases with predominantly de novo dominant, dominant paternal and some recessive paternal mutations. However, technical difficulties related to the determination of the maternal allelic balance remain, in particular during the phasing of parental haplotypes according to a trio strategy which requires the availability of parental genomic DNAs and at least one healthy or affected child. Moreover 2nd generation sequencers do not allow the haplotyping of alleles carrying dynamic mutations. Objectives: This project proposes the validation of a semi-universal DPNI_MGR test applicable to the majority of the genes and mutations involved in DPN requests from phasing of parental haplotypes by 3rd generation long-fragment DNA sequencing techniques coupled with targeted sequencing of free circulating DNA from maternal plasma. This test will be validated using triplet expansion diseases, which are the second indication of DPN at the national level. Methodology : Retrospective study of 16 couples at risk of transmitting a disease with triplet expansions (Myotonic dystrophy of Steinert, Huntington's disease, FRAXA, SCA1, 2, 3) Phase 1 : - Determination for 8 pairs of parental haplotypes according to the technique "Nanopore Cas9 Targeted-Sequencing" (nCATS) and validation of the analytical parameters and quality of this method (coverage rate of the regions of interest, error rate, identification of the morbid allele carrying the expansion ...), - Comparison of the parental haplotypes obtained in "Nanopore" technique versus those obtained by the "Linked Reads 10xGenomics" technique in these same 8 pairs (the sequencing and phasing data by this 2nd approach are available from a previous study), - Evaluation of the concordance of the fetal genotype results obtained during the standard examination (DPN by amniocentesis or choriocentesis) and those obtained with these new approaches of phasing in PNID. Phase 2: - Validation of the best performing workflow (efficiency / cost) of phase 1 over 8 additional pairs for a clinical transfer of the approach. Expected results and prospects: This study should make it possible to define the best performing test for the DPNI of triplet expansion diseases in accordance with the knowledge of the art and to validate the transfer conditions in clinical practice of the approach (equipment, reagents, cost analysis, analytical validation criteria ....). The validated workflow should be as universal as possible to secondarily provide national level access to a wide range of rare diseases NIDP by future adjustments of the gene content of the free circulating DNA sequencing panels.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Concordance rate between cell free foetal DNA based genetic t is a qualitative analysis : for each sample of each pregnant women, the presence of absence of a mutation (or morbid haplotype) responsible for a triplet expansion will be determined from maternal blood (Non invasive Pregnancy Diagnosis). the result could be : health fetus, affected fetus or non conclusive result (i.e. the analysis didn't allow to conclude if the fetus would be affected or not) Then, determination of the concordance rate between cell-based genetic non invasive prenatal test and gold standard prenatal test (choriocentesis or amniocentesis). Analysis of the concordance of the prenatal results obtained by our new NIPD (Non-Invasive Prenatal Diagnosis) approach and those blindly obtained during the gold-standard prenatal genetic test will be carried out for each pregnant woman participating in the study 36 months
Secondary Qualitative process to define the differents steps to analysis of the cell free foetal DNA Qualitative choice : define the most efficiency workflow in term of ratio cost/efficacity between the two kits of long fragment sequencing (simplicity, rapidity, accuracy and cost of the products ) 36 months
