ohio newborn screening Flashcards
avg annual birthrate in ohio since 1990
135,000
how did ohio metabolic NBS program begin
they screened for PKU as a trial and then it expanded to a mandated statewide program in 1965
where is the NBS lab in ohio located
Reynoldburg
why are most specimens inconclusive
sample at less than 24 hrs of age (too early) and time of collection missing
what is not included in the ohio NBS panel
nonketotic hyperglycinemia bc its lethal so theres no reason in screening for it
what can ppl with galactosemia not convert
glucose to galactose
inheritance pattern of galactosemia?
autosomal recessive
trmt for galactosemia?
galactose free diet
what is glucose + galactose
lactose
what does galactosemia lead to
immediate liver damage, sepsis
what disorders does the enzyme assay technique screen for
biotinidase deficiency, galactosemia, LSDs (Krabbes, MPSI, Pompe)
what disorders does the isoelectric focusing/capillary HPLC (high performance liquid chromatographies) technique screen for
hemoglobinopathies
what disorders does the immunoflourometric technique screen for
hypothyroidism, congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), CF
what is the biggest take away from an enzyme assay test
you dont need to wait 24 hours to test
what happens if there is an abnormal result in NBS
it must be repeated
turn around time for NBS?
5 days
biotinidase?
enzyme that recycles biotin
inheritance pattern of biotinidase deficiency?
autosomal recessive
biotinidase deficiency disorder?
disorder of biotin recycling that causes a deficiency in biotin and multiple carboxylase deficiencies (bc biotin is a cofactor for many carboxylase rxns)
trmt for biotinidase deficiency
daily biotin supplement which makes the disease basically curable
we do HPLC for hemoglobinopathies rn, but what did we do before?
isoelectric focusing but with new technological advances we dont do this anymore)
mc abnormalities on newborn screenings?
thyroid diseases (hypothyroidism mainly)
why is it important to get the timing of congenital hypothyroidism screening correct
TSH surge occurs shortly after birth and may give a false positive result if sample is obtained in 1st 24 hours
what are positive samples of congenital hypothyroidism reanalyzed for
T4
what is measured to test for congenital hypothyroidism
TSH
what is there a defect in in congenital adrenal hyperplasia
cortisol synthesis; most commonly 21-hydroxylase deficiency
inheritance pattern for congenital adrenal hyperplasia
autosomal recessive
who is congenital adrenal hyperplasia very common in
prematures
what is the analyte measured in congenital adrenal hyperplasia
17-OH progesterone
what disorder is weight dependent meaning you need to know the weight to understand the results
congenital adrenal hyperplasia
what disorder is different for males and females? Females have verilization and males have cardiac distress
CAH
what do babies with PKU look like at birth
normal
what can PKU look like if untreated
irreversible mental retardation
inheritance pattern of tyrosinemia type 1
autosomal recessive
what disorders are screened for with tandem MS/MS techniques
PKU, tyrosinemia type 1
what does untreated tyrosinemia type 1 lead to
hepatocarcinoma
what is tyrosinemia type 1
fumarylacetoacetase enzyme deficiency in tyrosine degradation pathway
