Rapid Low-Cost Microarray-Based Genotyping for Genetic Screening in Primary Immunodeficiency

Abstract: Conclusion: Our robust customized GSA seems to be a promising first-line rapid screening tool for PIDs at an affordable price, which opens opportunities for low-cost genetic testing in developing countries. The technique is scalable, allows numerous new genetic variants to be added, and offers the potential for genetic testing not only in PIDs, but also in many other genetic diseases.

“…To the best of our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive analytical validation of the GSA for clinical genotyping. Our findings support and extend recently reported research studies assessing the utility of the GSA for genetic screening in primary immunodeficiency (45), for population-based genomic screening for rare and medically relevant variation (46), and for detecting rare and clinically relevant markers in multiethnic Indian populations (47).…”

“…Some of the pros and cons of using the GSA are summarized in Table 10 below. The test characteristics of the GSA compared to WGS clearly show that the GSA is not a diagnostic genomic test for individuals with rare disorders because, as shown by our MAP59 results and recent research studies (45,46), it lacks robustness for genotyping rare variants as well as probes for detection of private familial disease variants. On the other hand, we show that the GSA has the analytical robustness to serve as a clinical screen for genotypes for which one can establish robust cluster files for the AA, AB, and BB genotypes.…”

“…Recently, the cost of SNP arrays has decreased appreciably, driven by the very large sample sizes needed to perform genome-wide association studies. SNP arrays also allow allelotyping, generally small deletions/duplications need confirmation by an alternate method or are not detectable [ 44 ]. The drawback of SNP array includes inability to provide the exact breakpoint, hence, whether the deletion in the presenting report is in-frame or not needs further validating techniques.…”

“…Commercial availability of NGS services and the rapid decline in cost have allowed genetic diagnosis for rare diseases to be more accessible and affordable (16). Genotyping microarrays targeting known pathogenic variants in PID can be a low-cost strategy to facilitate genetic screening in areas with no access to traditional methods of genetic diagnosis (17). Alternatively, international PID molecular diagnostic and research networks led by quaternary centers in very-high-HDI countries/regions like the Asian Primary Immunodeficiency Network (APID Network) established by the University of Hong Kong have been offering free sequencing and e-consultation to patients in countries/regions where advanced immunologic testing or clinical genetics services are deficient (18,19).…”
