Goals
• Review the genetic and genomic testing modalities
• Identify the clinical and family history findings that raise a
concern for a genetic disorder
• Review how simple biochemical tests that can determine
the competence of human metabolism
• Describe a few findings on routine biochemical testing that
can increase suspicion about an underlying metabolic
disease
Genetic Testing:
Screening vs. Diagnostic
• Testing done on a particular
population
• Individuals are asymptomatic
• Not designed to diagnose, simply
to identify individuals at a higher
risk
• May lead to diagnostic tests
• Testing done on individuals
• Individuals often symptomatic
• Individuals may have had a
positive screening test
• May lead to treatment options

What’s in a name?
A test by any other name…
• Microarray
• Chromosomal microarray
• Whole genome microarray
• Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH)
• Array CGH
Function is to determine copy number variants
Microarray
Duplication in patient
Deletion in patient
Normal copy number
20
Karyotype Individual
FISH test
Microarray
Can detect whole
chromosome
differences,
translocations, and
large deletions or
duplications
Only looks at
specific areas for
deletions or
duplications
Can detect very
small duplications
or deletions
What about sequencing?
21
Sanger Sequencing
• A massively parallel sequencing technology in which
millions of overlapping “reads” of DNA sequences are
done simultaneously
• Creates an enormous amount of data to be analyzed
• Can detect single gene mutations including nonsense,
missense, splice-site, and frame-shift mutations
23
Next Generation Sequencing
24
25
Whole Exome Sequencing (WES)
• Now being offered clinically
• Parallel sequencing of at least 98% of
the coding sequences
Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS)
• Parallel sequencing of the coding and
non-coding sequences
• Some conditions are caused by DNA
changes outside the “gene”
26
Both are being considered in rapid testing
of sick newborns in the NICU and other places
Lots of data…What happens next?
27
28
Variants of Uncertain Significance:
The Dreaded VUS
• With whole genome sequencing or whole exome
sequencing, the chance of VUS is even greater than with
microarray testing
• The reading of the variants can be different between
different labs and over time
29
Variants of Uncertain Significance:
The Dreaded VUS

THE INFANT WITH LIVER DISEASE
A 6-month old infant male, product of a healthy
pregnancy/labor/delivery, was found to have a distended
belly at 3 months. By that time, he had lost 1 kg of
weight and was failing to thrive. He continues to feed
every 3-4 hours day and night. The liver was noted to be
enlarged at 5 months of age. He was evaluated in the ED
shortly after that for fever and upper respiratory
symptoms.
THE INFANT WITH LIVER DISEASE
Lab tests:
• Glucose=39 mg/dL
• Mild metabolic acidosis: HCO3=15
• ALT=118, AST=274
• Other liver functions normal
• Lactate=3.6 mmol/L (NL<2.2)
• Urinalysis: pH=6.5
Based on these
clinical/lab data, this
patient has liver disease.
Which other organ are
you worried about?
A. Brain
B. Kidneys
C. Distal extremities
D. Heart
E. Muscle

A CASE OF HYPOGLYCEMIA
A 2 ½ year old boy develops a cough and cold symptoms.
His PCP diagnoses a pharyngitis; the patient takes only
smaller volumes than usual. On the third day, he is pale
and difficult to rouse. He is rushed to the ED and has a
seizure in the car. His blood glucose measures 25 mg/dL.
Blood gases – pH=7.29, pCO2=31, HCO3=15. Electrolytes
measure Na=131, K=4.4, Cl=99. His urinalysis shows -
pH=5.0, no glucose or protein, and 1+ ketones.
QUESTION
Which ONE of the following choices regarding the
patient’s presentation is the most diagnostically helpful?
A. Hypoglycemia
B. Metabolic acidosis
C. Hypoglycemia with seizure
D. Hypoglycemia with 1+ urine ketones
E. Hypoglycemia, hyponatremia, with seizures

THE CRITICALLY ILL INFANT
A male is the 5th child of non-consanguineous parents
following a normal pregnancy and delivery. Within 12
hours, he developed respiratory distress and lethargy,
requiring intubation and ventilation. Blood gases
showed: pH=7.21, pCO2=10, HCO3=4. Electrolytes:
Na=137, K=4.9, Cl=105, measured HCO3=4. Glucose=44
mg/dL. The patient was dehydrated; lactate measured 21
mmol/L (NL<2.2) but persisted despite rehydration.
Ammonia=105 μmol/L. Urinalysis: ketones=3+.
QUESTION
The most likely reason for the high lactic acid level in this
patient is dehydration leading to poor perfusion?
A. True

  • 9. Goals • Review the genetic and genomic testing modalities • Identify the clinical and family history findings that raise a concern for a genetic disorder • Review how simple biochemical tests that can determine the competence of human metabolism • Describe a few findings on routine biochemical testing that can increase suspicion about an underlying metabolic disease
  • 10. Genetic Testing: Screening vs. Diagnostic • Testing done on a particular population • Individuals are asymptomatic • Not designed to diagnose, simply to identify individuals at a higher risk • May lead to diagnostic tests • Testing done on individuals • Individuals often symptomatic • Individuals may have had a positive screening test • May lead to treatment options

  • 25. 25
  • 26. Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) • Now being offered clinically • Parallel sequencing of at least 98% of the coding sequences Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) • Parallel sequencing of the coding and non-coding sequences • Some conditions are caused by DNA changes outside the “gene” 26 Both are being considered in rapid testing of sick newborns in the NICU and other places
  • 27. Lots of data…What happens next? 27
  • 28. 28 Variants of Uncertain Significance: The Dreaded VUS
  • 29. • With whole genome sequencing or whole exome sequencing, the chance of VUS is even greater than with microarray testing • The reading of the variants can be different between different labs and over time 29 Variants of Uncertain Significance: The Dreaded VUS
