The organization of the human c-fms proto-oncogene has been determined and compared with an abnormal allele. The human v-fms homologous genetic sequences are dispersed discontinuously and colinearly with the viral oncogene over a DNA region of ca. 32 kilobase pairs. The abnormal c-fms locus contains a small deletion in its 3' portion. DNA sequencing analysis indicated that it was 426 base pairs in size and located in close proximity to a putative c-fms exon.

AbstractBackgroundRapid and practical DNA-sequencing processing has become essential for modern biomedical laboratories, especially in the field of cancer, pathology and genetics. While sequencing turn-over time has been, and still is, a bottleneck in research and diagnostics, the field of bioinformatics is moving at a rapid pace – both in terms of hardware and software development. Here, we benchmarked the local performance of three of the most important Spark-enabled Genome analysis toolkit 4 (GATK4) tools in a targeted sequencing workflow: Duplicate marking, base quality score recalibration (BQSR) and variant calling on targeted DNA sequencing using a modest hyperthreading 12-core single CPU and a high-speed PCI express solid-state drive.ResultsCompared to the previous GATK version the performance of Spark-enabled BQSR and HaplotypeCaller is shifted towards a more efficient usage of the available cores on CPU and outperforms the earlier GATK3.8 version with an order of magnitude reduction in processing time to analysis ready variants, whereas MarkDuplicateSpark was found to be thrice as fast. Furthermore, HaploTypeCallerSpark and BQSRPipelineSpark were significantly faster than the equivalent GATK4 standard tools with a combined ∼86% reduction in execution time, reaching a median rate of ten million processed bases per second, and duplicate marking was reduced ∼42%. The called variants were found to be in close agreement between the Spark and non-Spark versions, with an overall concordance of 98%. In this setup, the tools were also highly efficient when compared execution on a small 72 virtual CPU/18-node Google Cloud cluster.ConclusionIn conclusion, GATK4 offers practical parallelization possibilities for DNA sequence processing, and the Spark-enabled tools optimize performance and utilization of local CPUs. Spark utilizing GATK variant calling is several times faster than previous GATK3.8 multithreading with the same multi-core, single CPU, configuration. The improved opportunities for parallel computations not only hold implications for high-performance cluster, but also for modest laboratory or research workstations for targeted sequencing analysis, such as exome, panel or amplicon sequencing.

Abstract Background: Measurement of plasma butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) activity and inhibitor-based phenotyping are standard methods for identifying patients who experience post-succinylcholine (SC) apnea attributable to inherited variants of the BChE enzyme. Our aim was to develop PCR-based assays for BCHE mutation detection and implement them for routine diagnostic use at a university teaching hospital. Methods: Between 1999 and 2002, we genotyped 65 patients referred after prolonged post-SC apnea. Five BCHE gene mutations were analyzed. Competitive oligo-priming (COP)-PCR was used for flu-1, flu-2, and K-variant and direct DNA sequencing analysis for dibucaine and sil-1 mutations. Additional DNA sequencing of BCHE coding regions was provided when the five-mutation screen was negative or mutation findings were inconsistent with enzyme activity. Results: Genotyping identified 52 patients with primary hypocholinesterasemia attributable to BCHE mutations, and in 44 individuals the abnormalities were detected by the five-mutation screen (detection rate, 85%). Additional sequencing studies revealed mutations in eight other patients, including five with novel mutations. The most common genotype abnormality was compound homozygous dibucaine and homozygous K-variant mutations. No simple homozygotes were found. Of the remaining 13 patients, 3 had normal BChE activity and gene, and 10 were diagnosed with hypocholinesterasemia unrelated to BCHE gene abnormalities. Conclusion: A five-mutation screen for investigation of post-SC apnea identified BCHE gene abnormalities for 80% of a referral population. Six new BCHE mutations were identified by sequencing studies of 16 additional patients.
