Understanding RRPa genetic undertaking Allegheny General Hospital Pittsburgh, PA Farrel J. Buchinsky, MD Pediatric Otolaryngologist Center for Genomic Sciences Allegheny Singer Research Institute
BLUF (bottom line up front) • Enrollment tripled since Los Angeles focus meeting • Discovered transmission disequilibrium in 2 candidate genes
What is the cause of RRP? HPV 6 & 11 • Necessary • Is it sufficient?
Many exposed • Only few get the disease
Genetic Susceptibility • higher prevalence in relations • But still very rare • HLA DRB1*0301 and DQB1*0201 disproportionately present in RRP • associated with decreased interferon γ expression • Partial reproduc of Gelder • Also assoc in cervical cancer • Epidermodysplasia verruciformis Bonagura; Hum Immunol. 2004 Gelder; J. of Vir. 2003 Madeleine; JID. 2002 Ramoz; Nature G. 2002
Epidermodysplasia Verruciformis • Rare, autosomal recessive, skin disease • Abnormal susceptibility to specific HPVs (5 and 8) • persistent lesions that do not clear virus • 4 specific mutations found in EVER1 Dr. Mark Naylor, Electronic Textbook of Dermatology
More Genetic Evidence • Rabbit papilloma data • HIV/AIDS • 14 AIDS restriction genes explains some of variability rate at which a population progresses from HIV infection to AIDS • Malaria, Otitis Media • Mortality by infectious disease in adoptees more associated with biologic parents than seen for cardiovascular and cancer O'Brien; Nature G. 2004 Sørensen; NEJM. 1988
So what’s needed 2 specimens 1 mm * 1 mm OR HPV type Specimen of Blood
Acquisition IRB IRB IRB
Enrolment 92 from Patient Support Groups
Which gene or genes • 3x109 bases • Candidate Gene Approach • Genomic Scan Approach
Candidates • MHC • Innate Immunity • Toll-like receptors • Cytokines regulating the inflammation • Transcription factors regulating immune response • Known Cell Biology Interactions • E5 inhibits H+ATPase from acidifying vesicles • HPV cell receptor • Other Diseases • Epidermodysplasia Verruciformis • Cervical Cancer
First Candidate Gene Batching • 5 genes • 214 SNPs on Sequenom MassARRAY • 212 cases + relatives
Transmission Disequilibrium Test • Allele 1 = 76%, Allele 2 = 24% • Many trios uninformative • Allele 2 transmitted 16 times, untransmitted 1
TDTae in 2 candidate genes But first... • Quality control scrutiny • Additional SNP genotyping • Sequencing Gordon; Euro J. Hum. Gen. 2004
