CF Screening Efficacy and Seasonal Variation in California: 15-Year Comparison of IRT Cutoffs Versus Daily Percentile for First-Tier Testing
2024-09-29
Abstract excerpt
The California Genetic Disease Screening Program (GDSP) employs a fixed immunoreactive trypsinogen (IRT) cutoff followed by molecular testing to screen newborns for Cystic Fibrosis (CF). The cutoffs approximate a 1.6% yearly IRT screen positive rate, however seasonal variation in IRT population means led us to develop a model to establish fixed IRT cutoffs that anticipate seasonal variation and minimize missed cas...
