Haplotype Blocks in Human Genome Haplotype block a) • Each human chromosome is made up of regions called haplotype blocks 3 to 7 variants occuring at a frequency of 5% in the population. Each haplotype block has different colors • Two individuals with differents haplotype carrying 30% of variation of the total haplotype diversity in the human population b) Individual 1 Individual 2
Applications of Microarray Technology • Gene expression profiling • In different cells/tissues • During the course of development • Under different environmental or chemical stimuli • In disease state versus healthy • Molecular diagnosis: • Molecular classification of diseases • Drug development • Identification of new targets • Pharmacogenomics • Individualized medicine
Applications of microarrays • Cancer research: Molecular characterization (taxonomy) of tumors on a genomic scale more reliable diagnosis and effective treatment of cancer. • Immunology - bacterial infections: study of host / pathogen interactions in terms of their transcriptional response • Developmental biology: • Molecular biology: (conditional) gene knockout - find regulated genes • Response of cells / tissues to drugs / injury
Improvements in Medicine • Diagnostics • Faster and more accurate diagnosis • Positive prognosis • Predictable symptoms • Ability to make arrangements before things happen
Improvements in Medicine • Disease Control and Prevention • Increased knowledge about genetic diseases • Vaccines • Treatments • Education programs
Gene Expression “Signature” as a Predictor of Survival Good signature Poor signature 70 reporter genes
Molecular Classification and Outcome Prediction of Acute Leukemia in the Genomics Era: A Paradigm for Molecular Medicine
Cancer Molecular Medicine Tailoring Therapy to the Disease and the Host Genomics Clinomics • Integration of Molecular, Genomic, and Ultimately Functional Biologic Approaches into Diagnosis • Assessment of Genetics, Gene Expression Profiles for New Molecular Classification Schemes and Identification of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Targets • Assessment of Host Polymorphisms to Assess Disease Risk and Potential Therapeutic Efficacy or Toxicity • Tailoring Therapy to Disease and Host
Uses of DNA Microarrays • Transcriptome profiling: • Massive parallel analysis can reveal patterns of gene expression allowing researchers to predict gene associations and pathways • Microarrays have been used over the past five years for transcriptome analyses in organisms ranging from bacteria to fungi to humans to higher plants under hundreds of different conditions • Diagnostics: RNA or DNA samples hybridized to small arrays to detect expression of marker genes (stress/pathogens, developmental events) • Molecular genetics: Genomic DNA samples are hybridized to a limited number of probes to detect single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for mutational analyses (pedigrees, gene mapping) • Gene promoter analyses: ChIP to Chip assays – overlapping or ‘tiled’ DNA probes representing an entire genome are hybridized with labeled, putative trans-acting proteins to detect binding to cis elements in promoter regions
