  2. #1 Exploiting differences among pathogens #2 Exploiting extreme phenotypes #3 Exploiting technological breakthroughs

  3. #1 - Exploiting differences amongpathogens

  4. A 32 year-old person is found at the time of a blood donation to be HIV+/HCV+. • His HIV viremia is 4.9 log copies/ml, CD4 T cells are 168 cell/ul. • His HCV viremia is undetectable, liver tests are normal.

  5. Genome analyses: How do we do it? • DNA from a large number of individuals • Large scale genotyping of common human variation (500’000 – 1 moi polymorphisms). • Association analysis with correction for the large number of tests (significative p-values should be <10-7 to 10-8

  6. Genome-wide genotyping Homozygous 1 Heterozygous Homozygous 2 500.000 to 1.000.000 SNPs/individual

  11. HCV - Genetic determinants of spontaneous clearance and treatment success

  12. HCV - Viral and genetic determinants of treatment success

  13. GWAS Results • We have reached experimental power conditions to identify most common human (Caucasian) variation influencing susceptibility to HIV-1 • We can know explain 22% of population variance by genetics, population effects, gender and age. • Clear and profoundly different signals for various pathogens (n=2).

  14. #2 - Exploiting extreme phenotypes

  15. HIV- HIV+ A rapid progressor

  16. Rapid progression – a genetic extreme

  17. Integrating host and viral parameters Casado et al.

  18. « Sooty-like » patterns of evolution

  19. A genomic, tanscriptomic and immunogenetic study of rapid progression Red: associated with an AIDS event/death <350 CD4 T cells CD4 evolution of Rapid Progressors (n=73) during 3 years after seroconversion

  20. CD4 T cell analysis

  21. Interferon-stimulated genes CD4 T cell analysis

  22. Interferon stimulated genes Rapid progressors versus Sooty-like profiles More expressed in Rapid progressors More expressed in Sooty-like CD4 T cell analysis

  23. PM AGM Gene expression changes in African green monkeys (natural host model) and Asian pigtailed macaques (pathogenic model) between day 10 and day 45 post infection. Lederer et al. PLoS Pathogens 2009

  24. Interferon-stimulated genes T cell receptor signalling CD4 T cell analysis

  25. T cell receptor signalling

  27. Transcriptome Results • The analysis of extreme phenotypes (beyond elite controllers) remains of major interest. • New profiles, such as the rare “sooty-like” can be very informative and directly link to some of the non-pathogenic primate models. • However….what to do with the long lists of candidate genes??

  28. #3 - Exploiting technological breakthroughs

  29. A severe hemophilia patient received multiple blood transfusions through the early 1980’ies. • Today this patient remains HIV negative, while HCV positive

  30. Characterization of high-risk HIV-1 seronegative hemophiliacs. Salkowitz et al. Among hemophiliacs from the MACS who remained HIV-1 seronegative despite a high (94%) risk for acquisition of HIV-1 infection, 7/43 (16%) were homozygous for the protective CCR5 Delta32 polymorphism. Among the remainder, neither CCR5 density nor beta-chemokine production, nor in vitro susceptibility to infection with the HIV-1 isolate JR-FL could distinguish HRSN hemophiliacs from healthy controls. Clin Immunol. 2001 Feb;98(2):200-11.

  31. Genetic frequency in a population <<<<<<1% 1% >5% Primary immuno-deficiencies Common trait disease ????????? Severe ????? Mild Disease manifestation / risk

  32. Genetic frequency in a population <<<<<<1% 1% >5% Primary immuno-deficiencies Common trait disease Severe ????? Mild Disease manifestation / risk

  33. Genetic frequency in a population <<<<<<1% 1% >5% RARE AND PRIVATE MUTATIONS Primary immuno-deficiencies Common trait disease Severe ????? Mild Disease manifestation / risk

  34. Whole Genome Sequencing James WATSON “…some 11,000 of Watson’s SNPs (15% novel) are predicted to change the amino-acid sequence — and so, perhaps, the function — of a protein.”

  35. Where could be the genes of interest?

  44. The role of the physician • Identification of study phenotyes • Avoiding low-power, limited scope studies. • Bringing the best predictors to clinical use.

  46. Final Conclusions • The genetic basis of human susceptibility to HIV-1 susceptibility to infection includes common variants (probably known by now), and a undefined number of rare variants. • Technological breakthroughs are not adequately supported by clinical cohorts.
