Efficient typing of copy number variations in a segmental duplication-mediated rearrangement hotspot using multiplex competitive amplification.

Abstract:

:Local genomic architecture, such as segmental duplications (SDs), can induce copy number variations (CNVs) hotspots in the human genome, many of which manifest as genomic disorders. Significant technological advances have been achieved for genome-wide CNV investigations, but these costly methods are not suitable for genotyping certain disease-associated CNVs or other loci of interest in populations. Recently, two independent studies showed that the murine meiosis expressed gene 1 (Meig1) was critical to spermatogenesis. We found that the human orthologue MEIG1 is flanked by an SD pair, between which non-allelic homologous recombination (NAHR) can cause recurrent CNVs. To study this potential CNV hotspot and its role in spermatogenesis, we developed a new CNV genotyping method, AccuCopy, based on multiplex competitive amplification to investigate 320 patients with spermatogenic impairment and 93 healthy controls. Three MEIG1 duplications (two in patients and one in controls) were identified, whereas no deletion was found. As NAHR results in more recurrent deletions than duplications at a locus, the over representation of recurrent MEIG1 duplications suggests a potential purifying selection operating on this hotspot, possibly via fecundity. We also showed that AccuCopy is an efficient and reliable method for multiplex CNV genotyping.
