Thirty Years with Cystic Fibrosis Jacqui Calvin Addenbrooke’s Hospital Cambridge Screening area – Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire Screening for CF since 1979 First year a pilot to set cut-offs Routine screening - January 1980 Various assays and protocols used First CF patient detected on screening First CF child detected by IRT screening – October 1980 Reported in ‘Current issues in neonatal screening for cystic fibrosis and implications of the CF gene discovery’. Farrell et al 1991 Ped Pulmonol We have two earlier CFs – dob June/July 1980 Protocols Jan 1980 – April 2004 IRT–IRT protocol Based on prolonged hypertrypsinaemia seen in the majority of babies with CF May 2004 onwards IRT-DNA-IRT p.Phe508del followed by 29 panel Jan 09 changed to 4 mutation panel CFTR Total babies screened Jan 1980 to December 2009 730,730 Give or take a few! What are we measuring?

To minimise diagnosis of very mild forms of CFTR defects producing late-onset, essentially unpreventable disease. False negative: A ‘not suspected’ result in a child presenting before the age of 16 years with signs and symptoms of CF, subsequently diagnosed clinically False positive: A ‘suspected’ result in a child not diagnosed with CF Numbers screened and false positives Protocol IRT-IRT IRT-IRT IRT-IRT IRT-IRT IRT-DNA-IRT Kit Sorin Agen Delfia Autodelfia Autodelfia Total 234, 098 65,222 210,356 73,290 147,764 n 24 22 37 13 9 FP % 0.01 0.03 0.02 0.02 0.006 Babies with CF Total number known to screening lab: 325 Positive screen: 296 Includes 53 with meconium ileus 13 sibs or diagnosed prior to screening 29 ‘Not suspected’ Including 10 meconium ileus Meconium ileus 53 cases of MI 9 ‘Not suspected’ 1 ‘Probable carrier’ Well known that MI causes problems – up to 25% have negative screening results Traditionally excluded from screening stats False positives: IRT-IRT protocol Clinical details n Term, well babies 43 Multi-organ failure and/or sepsis Birth trauma, hypoxia Extreme prematurity 31 6 1 Gastroschisis Pyloric stenosis Ileal atresia 3 1 1 Renal disease Liver disease 3 2 Trisomy 13 Trisomy 18 2 2 Galactosaemia (symptomatic) 6 GALACTOSAEMIA 17/21 galactosaemics had raised IRT at time of diagnosis (Anthony & Mary Heeley and Karen Poyser) IRT concentrations in untreated galactosaemia are comparable to those seen in CF IRT pre and post treatment in galactosaemia 17/21 galactosaemics had raised IRT False positives IRT-DNA-IRT First sample Second sample Age (days) IRT (mg/L) Age (days) IRT (mg/L) 8 96 27 77 66 125 10 465 26 134 6 175 26 78 26 308 9 117 25 837 5 112 23 61 5 143 27 100 Comments Well, thriving HIE, abnormal LFTs Multi-organ failure, died Sepsis Trisomy 13 26 65 Premature twin Autoimmune enteropathy Extreme prematurity Congenital renal failure False negatives IRT-IRT Pancreatic insufficient Age at presentation Clinical details First IRT Second IRT [mg/L] (Cut-off) [mg/L] (Cut-off) Mutation analysis <60 (60) Not done p.Phe508del homozygous 10.8m RS 11w RS + sepsis 92 (60) 49 (50) 3m RS + GI 54 (55) 6w RS + GI <60 (60) 3m RS + GI + FTT 11m FTT <1yr* RS + GI 3m RS + GI + FTT 34 (35) 12 (35) <70 (70) 110 (80) Comments Not done Deceased: diagnosed at pm Not done p.Phe508del heterozygous Abnormal sweat test Not done Not done Abnormal sweat test Not done p.Phe508del homozygous Not done p.Phe508del heterozygous Abnormal sweat test Not done p.Phe508del/ c.3140-26A>G Sib* 64 (70) p.Phe508del/ 621+1G>T False negatives IRT-IRT Pancreatic insufficient Age at presentation Clinical details First IRT Second IRT [mg/L] (Cut-off) [mg/L] (Cut-off) Mutation analysis <60 (60) Not done p.Phe508del homozygous 10.8m RS 11w RS + sepsis 92 (60) 49 (50) 3m RS + GI 54 (55) 6w RS + GI 3m RS + GI + FTT 11m FTT <1yr* RS + GI 3m RS + GI + FTT Comments Not done Deceased: diagnosed at pm Not done p.Phe508del heterozygous Abnormal sweat test <60 (60) Not done Not done Abnormal sweat test 34 (35) Not done p.Phe508del homozygous 12 (35) <70 (70) 110 (80) Not done p.Phe508del heterozygous Abnormal sweat test Not done p.Phe508del/ c.3140-26A>G Sib* 64 (70) p.Phe508del/ 621+1G>T King et al 1986 Small bowel, liver, respiratory and pancreatic changes, as described in CF, a common finding at autopsy in premature babies receiving prolonged intensive care.
