Background: A genetic syndrome of cutaneous malignant melanoma and nervous system tumors recently has been characterized and shown to be linked to the INK4 locus in the 9p21 region. Hemizygosity at adjacent physically mapped microsatellite markers indicated deletion of p16, p19, and p15 clustered tumor suppressors. Because individuals from this family could benefit from predictive testing in terms of cancer prevention, we developed a direct test without need to analyze parental DNAs to comply with the rules of individual consent and secrecy.
Methods: We developed an assay using TaqManTM real-time quantitative PCR, with p15 as the test sequence and albumin (ALB) as the reference gene. The normalized ratio of p15/ALB is expected to yield a value of ~1 in individuals without the deletion, whereas a ratio of ~0.5, indicating p15 haploinsufficiency, is expected in predisposed individuals.
Results: All patients harboring the previously defined at-risk haplotype were correctly identified using this approach. In six individuals with deletions, the p15/ALB ratios were 0.472–0.556 (SD, 0.013–0.078). In the five individuals without deletions, the ratios were 0.919–1.019 (SD, 0.006–0.075).
Conclusions: This is the first report of a high-throughput, automatable gene dosage assay successfully applied to the identification of a germ-line deletion. This approach, not limited by marker informativeness or the need for harvesting live cells, can be applied to any condition with haploinsufficiency and extended to the characterization of most abnormalities of the ploidy.© 1999 American Association for Clinical Chemistry
