DNA Has Only Two Jobs
• It serves as a store of information– Ensuring that information is passed
on to each new cell upon division (and the next generation)
• It directs the synthesis of proteins– Which are necessary to carry out
the functions of a living organism
DNA’s Structure Explains How it Accomplishes Both Jobs
Thymine (T) Guanine (G)

TG

Adenine (A) Cytosine (C)Always binds to Always binds to
As a double helix, each DNA molecule contains a copy of itself
DNA Serves as a Store of Information
DNA’s Structure Explains How it Accomplishes Both Jobs
• It is the order of the bases that provides the instructions for protein synthesis
• One stretch of DNA directs the synthesis of one type of protein, another stretch directs the synthesis of another type of protein
DNA Directs the Synthesis of Proteins
T
G
CA
We call a stretch of DNA that directs the synthesis of one particular protein a Gene
Gene #1 Gene #2 Gene #3
DNA Sequencing
• You have 3 billion bases arrayed in a unique order, with ~20,000 genes that direct the synthesis of all the proteins that comprise you
• “Sequencing” DNA is simply the elucidation of the order of the bases in an organism’s DNA strand
• The unique order of your bases greatly influences your health, e.g.– What disease you are more - or less - prone to– How you will react to different medications
• A human “genome” is about 6 feet of DNA– And each of your cells contains two copies of your
genome
A Human DNA Sequence• ~1/1,000,000th of the
Human Genome• Interspersed with
genes• And
“polymorphisms” which differ between people– Are sometimes
important, influencing traits
– or medically important characteristics

Sequencing DNA
• Early techniques were developed in the 1970’s• A variety of approaches now exist• The biggest limitation to sequencing is that the genome is big
– So carrying out these reactions for an entire genome is slow and expensive
Next Generation Sequencing
• Takes advantage of miniaturization to engage in massively parallel analysis– Essentially carrying out millions of sequencing
reactions simultaneously in each of 10 million tiny wells
• Sophisticated computer analysis of huge amounts of information allows “assembly" of a given sequence
$795 in 1977(=$2,800 in current $)
Accelerating Technology & Plummeting Cost
Next Generation Sequencing
Genomics’ Long Term Promise
• An avalanche of Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) in common diseases
• WGS is now a practical reality
• Will shed light on the genetic underpinnings of every disease imaginable
Ultimately transforming Medical Science
Medical Science = Medical Practice
• Medical Science is the indispensible foundation of Medical Practice• But medical practice is far more complex
– More variables– Individual values matter – and they differ
• Theory alone is insufficient to guide practice• Time-line for translation is long• Successful translation into practice
is not guaranteed by scientific understanding– See sickle cell disease
• It’s far more expensive• The stakes are much higher in Medical Practice
– Because the power to harm is real and potent
Where Does the Clinical Promise of Genomics Lie?
Probably not in risk assessment for common disease
• Common diseases have many factors, of which genetics is only one
• The bulk of any individual’s genetic risk for common disease is modest– Thus assessing genetic risk
only “nudges” that risk slightly
• Few data to suggest that knowledge of one’s genomic status for common disease is useful or is effective in changing behavior
Genetics
DietExercise
Smoking
Diabetes
Hypertension
Probably not in simply assessing risk
What’s The Right Nail For Sequencing Technology?
• As a diagnostic tool in enigmatic patients
• As a public health tool to identify those apparently well individuals with dramatically increased risk of preventable disease
Next Generation Sequencing as a Clinical Diagnostic Tool
• 47 yo female with sudden cardiac arrest
• Resuscitated successfully• EKG reveals “Long QT Syndrome”
– High risk for sudden death– Dozens of genes implicated
• Application of NGS to detect mutation
• Thereby guiding patient’s treatment and prevention of death in family members
? ?
?? ?
Next Generation Sequencing as a Public Health Tool
• ~0.25% of US women (375,000) carry a mutation in BRCA1/2– At very high risk of breast and ovarian
cancer• 85% lifetime breast cancer risk• 25-50% lifetime ovarian cancer cancer
• Knowledge of risk allows prevention– Currently we only can identify such
women once several family members have developed cancer
• NGS allows population screening for high risk preventable disorders– Cancer predisposition, cardiac disease,
etc.– ~1-2% of population carry such mutations
• 3-6 million individuals in the US with preventable disorders if identified
Challenges to Harnessing NGS in Clinical Medicine & Public Health
• Accuracy– 99.99% accuracy x 3 billion nucleotides– = 300,000 errors per patient
• Interpretation of the variants we find
• Storage and access in the medical record
• Education of patients and public
• Issues of consent and reporting
• Education of providers
Incidental Information• Upon WGS we discover many things we weren't
looking for, which we can do nothing about– Some are trivial or indeed beneficial– But some are problematic– And we will occasionally discover lethal, untreatable
late onset conditions
• Some wish to know such information; others do not• We must grapple with how to inform patients about
such information– protect patients from harm but also allow
individual autonomy and choice
Low risk incidental information
Medium risk incidental information
High risk incidental
information
PGx variants and common risk SNPs with no proven
clinical utility
APOECarrier status for severe
recessive diseases
Huntington diseasePrion
diseasesetc.
In the Clinical Arena, Genetic Information Presents Few Qualitatively New Challenges
• Genetic tests affect others– Infectious Disease
• Provide probabilistic information to the asymptomatic– Cholesterol
• Our genome cannot be changed– Nor can much of what we discover medically
• Insurance discrimination– Actually better for genetics than the rest of medicine
• Unexpected results, FPs/FNs– Are a routine part of all clinical care
• DNA is “uniquely identifiable”– Zip code + DOB + spouse’s first name

Jim’s Whole Genome Sequence!!
Eschewing Genetic Exceptionalism
Challenges to Realizing Genomic Medicine• Creation of a centralized, evidence-based, iterative process
to define clinically significant genomic findings • Thorough health-oriented phenotypic annotation of variants• Enabling realistic shared decision making among a range of
providers, technology interfaces and patients• Understanding the ethical dimensions, patient preferences &
values regarding returning incidental results• Maintaining a sober focus on evidence
Life is short, the art long, opportunity fleeting, experience
delusive, judgment difficult
A Human DNA Sequence• ~1/1,000,000th of the
Human Genome• Interspersed with
genes• And
“polymorphisms” which differ between people– Are sometimes
important, influencing traits
