The value of detecting albumin in meconium as a screening procedure for cystic fibrosis (CF) has been assessed on 34,228 samples in South Wales and North Staffordshire over a 4-year period; simultaneously, four methods of detecting albumin were evaluated. 12 cases of CF were detected, detection rate being 60%. The incidence of the disease in the population screened

Plasma proteins in meconium from normal infants and from babies with cystic fibrosis.
Meconium from babies with cystic fibrosis (CF) has been shown by Green and Shwachman (1968) to contain readily detectable amounts of albumin. Screening for the disease is therefore possible by testing meconium specimens for the presence of albumin with albustix or Boehringer test tape. Any screening procedure, however, requires the availability of reliable methods for checking positive and doub...
متن کاملBlood concentrations of pancreatitis associated protein in neonates: relevance to neonatal screening for cystic fibrosis.
AIM To determine whether pancreatitis associated protein (PAP) is a marker for cystic fibrosis which could be used in neonatal screening for the disease. METHODS PAP was assayed on screening cards from 202,807 neonates. Babies with PAP > or = 15 ng/ml, or > or = 11.5 ng/ml and immunoreactive trypsinogen (IRT) > or = 700 ng/ml were recalled for clinical examination, sweat testing, and cystic f...
متن کاملMolecular screening of R117H mutation in non caucasian cystic fibrosis patients in the north of Iran
Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disease caused by a wide spectrum of mutations in the gene encoding for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator protein. These mutations that correlate with different phenotypes, vary in their frequency and distribution in different populations. In this study missense mutation R117H that associated with the different clinical symptoms wa...
متن کاملNeonatal screening strategy for cystic fibrosis using immunoreactive trypsinogen and direct gene analysis.
OBJECTIVE To assess the effectiveness of a two tier neonatal screening strategy for cystic fibrosis, which combines estimation of immunoreactive trypsinogen followed by direct gene analysis in dried blood spot samples collected at age 5 days. DESIGN Prospective study of two tier screening strategy. The first tier of testing immunoreactive trypsinogen concentration was measured in dried blood ...
متن کاملThe impact of meconium ileus on the clinical course of children with cystic fibrosis.
The present study was designed to compare the clinical course of children diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (CF) in infancy due to the presence of meconium ileus (MI) with children diagnosed by way of a newborn screening programme (non-MI). A matched case-control study design was used. Matching was performed on the basis of sex and date of birth. All children born in New South Wales, Australia aft...
