Fazer Genotipagem do HIV usando sequenciamento de nova geração (Next Generation Sequencing – NGS) vai me deixar na moda? Mesmo achando que é caro e complexo?

Fazer Genotipagem do HIV usando sequenciamento de nova geração (Next Generation Sequencing – NGS) vai me deixar na moda? Mesmo achando que é caro e complexo?

Como usar NGS para fazer uma genotipagem completa do HIV – 5 alvos;Multiplex e de baixo custo!(e ainda agregar o HCV...)

Rationale(1)• New ARV drugs against HIV, in new therapeutical classes, demand new

genetic targets for HIV genotyping:– Integrase: Raltegravir, Elvitegravir, Dolutegravir...– env gp41: Fuzeon® T20– env C2V3: Maraviroc, ...

• Comercial (FDA approved) Genotyping assays/kits using Sanger’s modified sequencing method do not evaluate all these genetic regions (targets) where DRMs accumulate:– Just Protease (PR) and Reverse Transcriptase (RT) genes

• Drug resistance genotyping based on ion torrent deep sequencing can evaluate all genetic regions (targets) where DRMs accumulate, by low cost:– Protease (PR) e Reverse Transcriptase (RT) (RNAseH region included),

Integrase, env gp41, env C2V3 and Gag (co-evolution of PR cutting sites and late domain)

Rationale (2)• DRM Genotyping: not clonal, synergy between mutations not evaluated:

– Syntheny between mutations multi-resistant virus or– Mutations in different subpopulations mixture of resistant and wild type

viruses.

• ARV-resistant subpopulations present under 10-20% of total are not considered but can further impact on the therapy efficacy.

• The concept of depth of coverage (nber. of times a given sequence is obtained) de sequências clonais, through ion torrent sequencing, allows the evaluation of mutation occurence in viral sub-populations and thus:– Their impact on the efficacy of ARV therapy used, as well the new rescue

regimen to be implemented...– Minor sub-populations carrying DRMs, circulating at the threshold level of the

wild-type (ARV sensitive) major population;– The cell tropism of viral sub-populations (M-tropic x T-tropic,

or CCR5 x CXCR4 tropic) when analyzing the env C2V3 region; for the correct implementation of Maraviroc therapeutics 2-5% sub-population detection sensitivity

SANGER Sequencing technologies:

• Not clonal: blend of populations.

• Do not discriminate subpopulations

• Not sensitive to detect mutations in minor subpopulations (under 20%)

or CCR5 x CXCR4 tropic) when analyzing the env C2V3 region; for the correct implementation of Maraviroc therapeutics 5-10% sub-population detection sensitivity

Rationale(3)• OTHERS:

– Compatible cost.. aggregate HCV (hepatitis C) Protease and Replicase; to evaluate:

• viral genotype impact on therapy• DRMs for replicase and protease inhibitors (Ribavirine,

Boceprevir, Telaprevir, ...)

Brief• Today:

– Genotyping of HIV by comercial methods (Sanger):

• Two (only) therapeutic targets• Cost to MoH: aprox. U$ 125,00 to U$ 150,00 /

genotyping

– Genotyping HCV:• No assay

(in house methods, in some cases)

Brief

• Perspective NGS -Deep Sequencing: – Genotyping HIV using NGS:

• ALL therapeutic targets (actual: 5-6)• Cost to MoH:

– aprox. 1 chip (10-100Mb) multiplexed (12-20 patients/barcodes; coverage of 250x-1000x)

– U$ 1.000,00 to U$ 1.500,00 / rxn = U$ 70,00 to U$ 100,00 / patient.

– Genotyping HCV using NGS:

• ALL therapeutic targets (actual: 2)• Cost to MoH:
