GENOME
3.2 Gb
EXOME
Protein-coding ‘exons’ of all genes
Just 1% of the genome
Examining genes, chromosomes, exomes and
genomes
Karyotype
Sanger sequencing
ArrayCGH
1000X resolution
Next-gen sequencing

Why?
Types (new) of inheritance in epilepsy
New genes
Emerging landscape of epilepsy genetics
Role of next generation sequencing
– Multi-gene panels
– Exome and genome sequencing
• Changing role of the genetics service (and neurology)
Why make a diagnosis?

•
The George Mallory argument
Alter treatment
Clarify prognosis
Recurrence risk; prenatal diagnosis; PGD
• Contribute to basic understanding of human
biology
No diagnosis obvious……(most cases)

Heterogeneity in etiology of epilepsy
• IGE show complex inheritance
– IGE+LD has ~10% yield on arrayCGH
• Few EE have single gene for majority of cases
– Dravet/SCN1A (~80%) and MPSI/KCNT1 (~50%)
– Lesser extent CSWS-LKS/GRIN2A (~20%)
• Most EE (West/LGS) very heterogeneous
– Multiple genes each accounting for ~1%
• Same gene can appear in EE and ‘benign’ lists
Whole Genome Sequencing
Sequencing is easy…………

ArrayCGH
• Nottingham Cytogenetics Lab ~1000 tests in last 5 years
– 335 CNVs identified
ArrayCGH
• Pick-up depends on resolution of arrayCGH
– Pathogenic CNV
• 1q21.1, 15q11.2, 15q13.3, 16p11.2, 16p13.11, 17q12, 22q11.2
• Other ‘large’ deletions/duplications esp if de novo
– Possibly pathogenic
– Variant of unknown significance
– Benign
• 69/335 Nottingham arrayCGH are above common CNVs
15q11.2 deletion
15q13.3 deletion
16p13.11 deletion
Genetic testing in epilepsy
• All patients with GGE plus learning difficulties
– ArrayCGH
– Consider testing on suitable NGS panel
• All patients with ‘epileptic encephalopathy’
– NGS panel
– Single gene targeted test in Dravet, MPSI or
epilepsy-aphasia syndromes….may only be
available as part of panel!

Health Innovation Challenge Fund and Sanger Institute
DDD Study- ~1100 results
Finding genes for genetic disease
The ‘power’ of technology…..
Bycatch
Variants of uncertain significance, variants in more than one gene and
incidental but very significant changes in other (eg cancer) genes
The analytical bottleneck
• Exome
– 12000 variants
• Genome
– 5000000 variants
Referral to clinical genetics
• ‘Syndromic’ presentations
• Complex result on NGS
panel or arrayCGH
• Recruitment to DDD study
• Testing unaffected parents
or siblings
