Diagnosing Niemann Pick
disease, Type CMODIFIED FROM A SLIDE SHOW
Developed by the Sanford PROMISE
The Sanford PROMISEProgram for the Midwest Initiative in Science Exploration
The Case Your summer job is as intern in a genetics lab at a
Mount Blueberry Children’s hospital. A doctor comes to your team and says that he has a family in which he suspects three cousins all have Niemann-Pick type C disease. The family would like to know:
1) Do the children indeed have Niemann-Pick type C?2) what are the risks of future children in the family
developing the disease ?
Niemann Pick Type C• Niemann-Pick disease is an
inherited condition in which patients have abnormal lipid metabolism causing harmful amounts of lipids to accumulate in the spleen, liver, lungs, bone marrow, and brain.
• Caused by mutations in genes NPC1, NPC2, SMPD1
• NPC1 mutations account for 95% of type C cases.

Part 1 – Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)
• PCR is a technique used to amplify specific regions of DNA
• Start with one molecule of double stranded patient DNA and generate 2 after one cycle
• Exponential increase in DNA

PCR primers• The primers are critical!
– need to know a bit of sequence to make proper primers
– primers can bracket target sequence
• start with long piece of DNA & copy a specified shorter segment
• primers define section of DNA to be cloned

PCR process• What do you need to do?
– in tube: DNA, DNA polymerase enzyme, primer, nucleotides – denature DNA: heat (90°C) DNA to separate strands– anneal DNA: cool to hybridize with primers & build DNA (extension)
What does 90°Cdo to ourDNA polymerase?

SLIDE FROM SLIDE SHOW BY KIM FOGLIA
The polymerase problem• Heat DNA to denature (unwind) it
– 90°C destroys DNA polymerase– have to add new enzyme every cycle
• almost impractical!• Need enzyme that can
withstand 90°C…– Taq polymerase
• from hot springs bacteria– Thermus aquaticus
Kary Mullis• development of PCR technique
– a copying machine for DNA

Part 1 – Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)
Polymerase Chain Reaction
• Step 1: Denature DNA– Heat it up!
• Step 2: Primer annealing– Get the first tracks laid
out
• Step 3: Extension– DNA polymerase fills in
the gaps
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)• Cycling Conditions
– Initial Denaturation• 95˚C for 2 minutes
– Denaturation• 95˚C for 30 seconds
– Primer Annealing• 60˚C for 20 seconds
– Extension• 72˚C for 1 minute
– Final Extension• 72˚C for 3 minutes

Part 3 – DNA Electrophoresis
• DNA electrophoresis is a technique used to separate DNA by charge and size
• DNA is a charged molecule – what charge?
DNA Electrophoresis
• DNA is separated on an agarose gel based on size
• TAE buffer is added to cover the gel
• A power supply applies a current across the gel

DNA Electrophoresis
• Place micropipette tip into TAE bufferHOVER directly over the well in the agarose gel
• Slowly pipet sample into the well

DNA Visualization
• DNA cannot be visualized with the visible eye
• GelRed will bind to DNA– GelRed is in the agarose
gel• GelRed is excited by UV
light and will give off visible light
