Sequence-based In Situ Detection
of Chromosomal Abnormalities at
High Resolution Probing the Genome with scFISH
Joan HM Knoll, PhD, FACMG, FCCMG
University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine
The Paradigm
•Prenatal, postnatal and neoplastic chromosomal abnormalities
are increasingly being identified or confirmed by molecular
cytogenetics (ie. F.I.S.H. or fluorescence in situ hybridization).
•Nucleic acid probes are directed to rearrangements or
aneuploidies of specific genes or chromosomal intervals that
have been implicated in the clinical defects.
•Therapies in the future will be tied directly to DNA diagnostic
technologies that stratify patients into risk categories defined
by chromosomal abnormalities.
Molecular Cytogenetic Test: FISH
Complementary nucleic acid and chromosomal target DNA
bind noncovalently; binding detected by fluorescence.
Applications of FISH
• Clinical: detection of chromosomal gain, loss,
origin, cryptic translocations, microdeletions, etc
– constitutional - prenatal, pediatric, adult
– acquired - neoplasia
• Research: gene mapping, chromatin structure
and organization, etc
Availability of Locus Specific Commercial Probes
Inherited abnormalities
Subtelomeric regions
Acquired abnormalities
Commercial Probes: Properties
– Selected for frequent abnormalities (limited in number)
– Recombinant clones - defined experimentally (large and
generally not sequenced); must be obtained and
propagated, delaying the analysis
– Validated to rule out cross-hybridization to other
genomic targets
– Yield large hybridization signals due to long
chromosomal target length
– Large size precludes precise breakpoint localization

Conventional FISH: Chromosome X Probes
Green = DXZ1; Red = KAL1; cosmid clones
Sequence-based scFISH probes: Properties*
• Developed for both common and rare abnormalities
• Uses available human genome sequences (Public
Consortium & Celera Genomics databases)
• Produced without library construction, screening, or
propagation of recombinant DNA clones
• Shorter unique sequence probes:
– do produce smaller hybridization signals,
– but enable precise breakpoint delineation &
– generally do not cross hybridize to other targets
OVERCOMES LIMITATIONS OF COMMERCIAL PROBES
*US and International patents pending
Step 1: Obtain sequence of interest
•Delineate chromosomal region containing gene(s) associated
with disorder,
•Obtain mRNA sequence of gene(s),
•Compare with genomic sequences to obtain corresponding
complete gene and adjacent sequences.

Velocardiofacial Syndromes

Step 2: Deduce locations of single copy
intervals
•Computer program compares genomic sequence (>100 kb)
with database of (~440) repetitive sequence families.
•Determine the locations of repetitive genetic elements in
genomic sequence.
•Align results with gene sequence.

Step 3: Amplify and purify single copy

Genomic Interval Length Needed to Develop Probes
*Determined from the locations of single copy intervals on a random sample of chromosome
21 and 22 sequences. Sampling rate was 0.5%. Rogan, Cazcarro, Knoll, Genome Research 2001.
Applications of scFISH Probes
• Detect common abnormalities
• Examine phenotype-genotype relationships
• Identify locations of chromosome translocation, inversion
and deletion breakpoints
• Delineate paralogous sequence families and exploit these
sequences in detection of rearrangements
• Determine previously unknown repetitive sequences
• Define extent of cryptic rearrangements; characterize
sequences involved in rare or private chromosomal
rearrangements
• Explore chromosome structure

high-density and small size of scFISH probes.

Identification of Chromosome Rearrangements
with Paralogous Sequence Probes
EXAMPLE: Acute Myelogenous Leukemia M4 with
inv(16)(p13q22)
WHY study it?
- presence confers a good prognosis
- often difficult to detect by routine cytogenetics
- confirm by FISH

Delineation of Cryptic Rearrangements at
Chromosomal Ends
Why?: Up to 10% of patients with idiopathic MR have
subtelomeric deletions using commercial probes.
Problem: Commercial probes may not detect hemizygosity
adjacent to telomere due to size and distance from telomere.
Solution: Develop probes that are closer to chromosomal ends.

Chromosome Structure/Organization
• Duplicons, paralogous sequences
• New repetitive sequences
• Chromosomal distribution of single copy
intervals
• Different hybridization efficiency between
homologs (eg. Differential accessibility)
Down Syndrome Critical Region Duplicon Probes
New Repetitive Sequence Observed in
DSCR4 Gene (21q22.3)
DSCR4-1.9 kb
Low stringency wash [4 X SSC]
DSCR4
High stringency wash [1 X SSC]
Result: Sequence is not related to rDNA, nor is it from a sequence family adjacent
to ribosomal repeat (Gonzalez and Sylvester, 2000). Different copy number/levels
of conservation found on acrocentric p arms and between individuals.
Why does scFISH detect new repetitive sequences?
Genome sequence consists primarily of euchromatic DNA;
centromeric, heterochromatic and acrocentric short arm
regions are often difficult to assemble and propagate by
recombinant DNA techniques . . .
. . . resulting in some regions of the genome remaining
unsequenced.
Thus, we anticipate that some “single copy probes” containing
undescribed repeats may hybridize to unsequenced regions of
genome . . .
. . . and these repeats may not be represented in available
human repetitive family databases.

• Allows faster characterization of chromosomal abnormalities
especially private rearrangements; both clinical and research
utility
• Permits chromosomal characterization at a much greater
resolution than previously possible
• Provides new information about the genome: new repetitive
sequences, chromosome structure [duplicons, accessibility]
