What is in your genome?
• 3000 million A,C,G,T bases strung together into 23 long
molecules (chromosomes)
• The base sequence is your blueprint
• There are about 20,000 ‘genes’
• Each gene encodes a protein, e.g.haemoglobin
• 99% does NOT encode proteins. ?junk
• About 1% of bases are ‘polymorphic’
• You may have about 1m more ‘private’ variations
• Mutation of one base may cause a major disease
• You are 96% the same as chimp, 99.5% in protein coding
Where is your genome?
• There is a copy in every cell of your body
• Different genes are active in different cells
• However, you only copy half your genome
into a sperm or an egg
Does the hypercholesterolaemia run
in the family with the LDLR gene?
Melt-MADGE

Melt-MADGE system
Melt-MADGE tank
“ScanLab”(same system to run melts and endoVII assays)
>>Goal – studying unknown mutations in populations … studies in
big case collections also feasible
>>Present capacity – 10 systems – 50million base pairs scanned per week
Found 1 severe mutation in MC4R
in 1,100 population sample• Khalid K. Alharbi1, Emmanuel Spanakis1,

Prevalence and functionality of paucimorphic and private MC4R mutations in a large, unselected European British population, scanned by
meltMADGE (Human Mutation 2006) (cat.P114)
MC4R A87D > (Appetite++) > BMI 31.5kg/m2
Does everybody have “one worst gene”?
Can we help them (cf phenylketonuria)?
From RV-CD to CV-CD
• Rare variant – common disease
• Common variant – common disease

BMI GWAS - SNPs near MC4R
Forest Plot / Meta-Analysis of Cohorts
MC4R lead SNP in replication studies
Common variants near MC4R are associated with fat mass, weight and risk of
obesity.Loos RJ, Lindgren CM, Li S, Wheeler E, Zhao JH, Prokopenko I, Inouye M, Freathy RM, Attwood AP, Beckmann JS, Berndt SI; Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian

What Sells to the Public?
• Judged by Internet traffic
• 1. Internet (indexing by web crawlers)
• 2. Sex
• 3. Genealogy

What Sells to the Doctors?• Genetic information that will help clinical process
• 1. diagnosis
• 2. prognosis
• 3. monitoring
• 4. screening
• 5. Non-directive counselling /reproductive choice
• 6. !! Not the patient’s right to know
Some real clinical examples
(single targetted gene tests)
• TPMT / thiopurines azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine and 6-
thioguanine / organ Tx / autoimmune disease/ leukaemias
• Her2/NEU / breast cancer drug response
• VKORC1/CYP2C9 / warfarin dosing
• UGT1A1 /Gilbert’s / irinotecan / colon cancer
• DPYD, TS / 5-fluorouracil / gastric cancer
• (ABO) – blood group 1900-1925
Who gets the statins?
Average prescribing cutpoint
Red genotype over-represented and blue genotype under-represented relative
to black genotype. If we know the curves, then we could just use the genotype
ratios in those getting the statin, to determine the average prescribing cutpoint
Genotype ratio treatment index (GRTI)
NHS research of service delivery?
What does it all cost (2009)?
• 600,000 common polymorphisms (GWAS)
• £300 from 23andMe [NB £40 200K panels imminent]
• ‘Complete’ genome sequencing (NGS)
• £50,000
• 5 year goal of 1,000 dollar genome
• The cost of making sense of it all.
• The cost of leveraging value (to whoever) of that meaning
Urban(e) Dog Tags? (slide modified)• identity
• blood type and history of inoculations
• Blood group
• Statin myopathy risk
• CFTR delta508, HBB E6V
• ALDH2 status
• BCHE D70G
• LCT
• Norwalk virus resistance
• MC1R, OCA2
• What I would really like for Xmas is my complete genome sequence!
