Structural genetic alterations in cancer often involve gene loss or
gene amplification. With the advent of microarray approaches for the
analysis of the genome, as exemplified by arrayCGH
(Comparative Genomic
Hybridization), scanning for gene-dosage alterations is
limited only by issues of DNA microarray density. However, samples of
interest to the pathologist often comprise small clusters of just a few
hundred cells, which do not provide sufficient DNA for arrayCGH
analysis. We sought to develop a simple method that would permit
amplification of the whole genome without the use of thermocycling or
ligation of DNA adaptors, because such a method would lend itself to
the automated processing of a large number of tissue samples. We
describe a method that permits the isothermal amplification of genomic
DNA with high fidelity and limited sequence representation bias. The
method is based on strand displacement reactions that propagate by a
hyperbranching mechanism, and generate hundreds, or even thousands, of
copies of the genome in a few hours. Using whole genome isothermal
amplification, in combination with comparative genomic hybridization on
cDNA microarrays, we demonstrate the ability to detect gene losses in
yeast and gene dosage imbalances in human breast tumor cell lines.
Although sequence representation bias in the amplified DNA presents
potential problems for CGH analysis, these problems have been overcome
by using amplified DNA in both control and tester samples. Gene-dosage
alterations of threefold or more can be observed with high
reproducibility with as few as 1000 cells of starting material.
