Introduction

  • Biochemical screening of newborns in some parts of UK since 1980

  • Northern Ireland since 1983, Wales 1997, Scotland 2003.

  • Parent-led support group driven towards extension of screening for all newborns in UK

  • National Screening committee not convinced of benefits of screen but supported it because of inequity in UK

  • Evidence that early treatment leads to better outcome is accumulating

  • Screening in all areas of England from 1 October 2006



Screening protocol for England

  • IRT–DNA–IRT (5-8 days. Raised >99.5th centile)

  • Maximise diagnosis of affecteds with preventable / treatable disease

  • Minimise pick up of carriers and mild forms (late onset, unpreventable)

  • Stage 1: 4 mutations

  • Stage 2: 29/30 mutations

  • (detects 85-90% mutations in Caucasians)

  • 2nd IRT intended to increase detection of CF

  • Disadvantages – pick up healthy carriers, non-paternity





UK regional laboratories

  • England: 1st screen, 4 mutations

  • c.489+1G>T, p.Phe508del, p.Gly542X, p.Gly551Asp

  • 2nd screen, 29 mutations

  • Wales (Cardiff): 1 screen, 8 mutations

  • c.489+1G>T, p.Phe508del, p.Gly542X, p.Gly551Asp

  • p.Gly85Glu, p.Arg553X, c.1766+1G>A, p.Arg1283Met

  • Scotland (Glasgow): 1 screen, 28 mutations

  • Birmingham –

  • 1st screen West Midlands Newborn Screening Centre

  • 2nd screen West Midlands Regional Genetics Service

Methods and reporting

  • Extraction: EZ1, boiled prep, OLA CF33,

  • QIA Amp® DNA micro kit

  • Methods: Tepnel® CF4, CF29, CF-HT30,

  • CF-HT28, Abbot® CF OLA33, in-house Taqman, PCR + PAGE, sequencing exons 4 & 11

Summary of mutations found in affected babies (panel 1 and panel 1+2)



Meconium ileus cases

  • Echogenic screen showed pregnancy to be F508del/F508del – family told predicted CF affected.

  • Baby included in CFNS and had normal IRT - reported as “CF not suspected”. Checked Guthrie for F508del and confirmed original results. Biochem then lowered their cut off levels slightly to try and prevent this happening again.

  • Baby with meconium ileus was missed on blood spots as no raised IRT – had F508del and R117H/5T

  • Urgent direct referral from a neonatal unit for a child with meconium peritonitis. Screened for the full panel of mutations and identified a c.3528delC heterozygote. Guthrie analysis reported this patient as ‘no mutation detected’ for four mutations. (Received in time frame)



R117H cases

  • Communication issue regarding F508del/R117H (7T/9T) compound heterozygote.

  • 2 cases of F508del/R117H mutations. No guidance in CFNS for polyT analysis so not carried out on Guthrie referrals. Subsequent confirmatory blood samples requested PolyT analysis and both patients proved to be 7/9T. (These cases have been identified since 31/03/07)

  • Case NOT detected by CFNS:

  • Mother affected: Phe508del / rare mutation,

  • Father carrier: R117H / N.

  • Baby born with R117H / rare mutation.

  • 1st IRT well below 99.5th C so not sent for DNA.

  • Sweat test and subsequent management not yet known.



  • F508del carrier picked up on CFNS. Cascade testing of family revealed 2 yr old cousin was F508del/R117H(7T) and had borderline sweat test. Being treated for CF.

  • F508del / D1152H identified in a CFNS case. Subsequent testing of siblings. Both F508del / D1152H compound heterozygotes.

  • One asymptomatic but one who had presented with a cough and small size and had been discharged.

  • Infant with F508del / 2789+insA on CFNS. 17 yr old brother (asymptomatic) requested testing.

  • Also F508del / 2789+insA and had positive sweat test.



Technical problems

  • False positive F508del/F508del using the CF30HT kit.

  • Reported to Tepnel and they subsequently located a polymorphism under normal F508del primer binding site. Now confirm all F508del homozygotes with alternative assay and different primers. All other homozygous mutations are confirmed by requesting parental samples.

  • One copy of F508del and no second mutation.

  • Sent to Manchester for rare mutation screen. Found R117H. Checked data again – no evidence of blue mutation peak on CFHT, but drop in height of green normal peak. Repeated blood spot and fresh blood sample, still no blue mutation peak. Contacted Tepnel.

  • Blood spot QA from CDC USA - CFHT kit failed to detect W1282X mutation. Informed Tepnel.



Problems / suggestions

  • Samples – variable quality, size, timing.

  • More referrals than predicted – cut off too low?

  • Lack of follow-up e.g. 2nd IRT data, 2nd rare mutation

  • Need to have a system for prenatal tests to pre-empt CFNS to avoid conflicting reports.

  • Regions with significant non-Caucasian population – 4 mutation panel not ideal e.g. NW Thames would like W1282X as large Ashkenazi

  • Use the same protocol as CFNS for all diagnostic CF referrals



Summary

  • National CF Newborn Screening programme going well after first year

  • Good communication with Biochemistry

  • Higher workload than expected

  • Lower pick up rate than expected (affecteds and carriers)

  • More babies with 0 mutations and 2nd high IRT than in algorithm. May not get full screen.

  • Need to have system for prenatal results

  • Would like more feedback about fate of cases with unclear outcome.
