Genetics
•
•
•
•
•
Autosomal recessive inheritance
Chromosome 7
Codes for CFTR, a chloride channel
Over 1600 known mutations of the gene
Five classes of mutations: 1--protein
production, 2--defective processing, 3-defective regulation, 4--defective conduction,
5--reduced CFRT production
CFTR Genetics
• CFTR gene:
–
–
–
–
q31.2 locus on the long arm of chromosome 7
230,000 base pairs long
CFTR is 1,480 amino acids long
Most common mutation, ΔF508 is a deletion (Δ) resulting in
a loss of the amino acid phenylalanine (F) at the 508th (508)
position on the protein
• Approximately 1:30 Non-hispanic Caucasians are
carriers of a CFTR disease causing mutation

CF-NBS History
• Multiple techniques evaluated
• Immunoreactive trypsinogen (IRT) on NBS blood spot
testing now standard
• IRT is elevated due to pancreatic duct dysfunction
• IRT is increased in both pancreatic sufficient and
insufficient CF newborns
• Screening first started in Australia (NSW: 1981) and
in USA (CO: 1982)
• 49 states plus DC currently and likely all states by
end of 2010
IRT-DNA NBS Strategy
Sharp JK, Rock MJ. Clinic Rev Allerg Immunol 35:107, 2008.
Wisconsin Cystic Fibrosis
Neonatal Screening Study
• Control Group was diagnosed 15 months later on
average (P<0.001)
• No differences in sex, cf care site, or pancreatic
insufficiency (83%) between groups
• delF508 was more common in Early Diagnosis Group
• Height for age, Weight for age, Head Circumference
percentiles all significantly lower at diagnosis in the
Control Group
• Shwachman–Kulczycki scores significantly lower at
diagnosis in the Control Group (87 vs 92; P<0.006)
primarily due to differences in weight
Farrell PM et al. N Engl J Med 337:963,1997.
Pancreatic Insufficient CF
Patients
Height for Age Percentile

%le
Weight for Age Percentile
NBS vs Control all at least P<0.01 or better
Farrell PM et al. N Engl J Med 337:963,1997.
WCFNSS and Pulmonary
Status
• NBS Group median time to acquisition of P.
aeruginosa (PA) was 3.0 years compared to
6.0 years in the Control Group
– Site of care with increased exposure
– More delF508 in NBS group with PA acquisition
3.5 years earlier than in non-delF508 patients
• Both groups received quality CF care, and
although effective, we cannot prevent decline
in lung function at this time
Newborn Screening: CDC 2004
• Consider state resources/priorities
• Collect follow-up data in collaboration with CF
Centers
• Collaboration between states with optimization of
strategies
• Rigorous infection control practices to prevent early
acquisition of organisms from older patients
• Parent and provider education
• Prompt referral to diagnostic centers
– Skilled in sweat testing
– Counseling to families including false positives
CDC: Risks of CF-NBS
• Infants Affected with CF and Their Families
– Altered Parent-Child Relationships - Not supported
– Person-to-Person Transmission of Infectious Agents – Concern
• Infants with False-Positive CF Screens and Their Families
– Psychological Distress from Screening – Concern
– Misunderstanding of Carrier Status - Concern
– Other Implications to Families of Carrier Identification - Not supported
• Health-Care System
– False-negative results might experience a delay in diagnosis - Concern.
– Diversion of health-care system resources - Concern
False Positives: IRT/DNA
•
Wisconsin study of 63 families with positive IRT/DNA test results*
– 6% of families thought that being a
carrier could cause illness
•
Wisconsin study of 138 families conducted after CF screening with
positive results**
– Only 2/3rd had genetic counseling from healthcare professional
– 88% understood that their child was a carrier
– 11% either believed that their child would have CF subsequently or did not
know whether that could happen
– 50% felt feeling confused
– Only 25% reported feeling no anxiety about carrier status
– Less than 50% understood that they were at increased risk of having a child
with CF whether or not they received counseling

CFF Guidelines for Newborn
Screening
Farrell PM et al. J. Pediatr 153:S4,2008.
CFF Guidelines for Newborn
Screening
• Caveats
– Infant should be > 2kg and at least 36 weeks
corrected gestation for sweat chloride
determination
– Minimum sweat weight is 75mg per sample
– Two ‘disease causing’ mutations should be
considered diagnostic
– Even with negative sweat chloride
(<29 mmol/l) if two CF mutations are in trans then
diagnosis is strongly suggested
Farrell PM et al. J. Pediatr 153:S4,2008.
CF Disease Causing
Mutations
Farrell PM et al. J. Pediatr 153:S4,2008.
IRT-DNA NBS Strategy
Sharp JK, Rock MJ. Clinic Rev Allerg Immunol 35:107, 2008.
Arizona CF NBS
Program
• Started in November 2007
• IRT/DNA strategy with 46 mutations chosen
to represent ethnic/racial makeup of Arizona’s
population
• Primary care provider based
• Involvement of CF Centers at Phoenix
Children’s Hospital and at the University of
Arizona
Arizona CF NBS
Program
• Specimen screened for IRT with cutoff at
2.2% of values for the day
• Specimens with IRT in the top 2.2% are
screened with a panel of 46 mutations
• Outcomes:
– No mutations:
– One mutation:
– Two mutations:
CF is not indicated
CF may be present
CF is likely
Positive Results
• Primary care provider and family notified of
positive screen by mail/fax
• Regional CF Center notified by fax/email
• CF Centers are responsible for initial followup with PCP to ensure positive screen is
proceeding to sweat testing
• CF Centers notify AzDHS of results of sweat
tests, diagnoses, and care onset
• AzDHS will track down missed cases
IRT + Two Mutations
• CF Center will contact PCP ASAP
• Information for Family and PCP includes
contact information for CF Center as well
• PCP refers for confirmatory sweat testing at
reference laboratory (UMC or TMC)
• CF Center follows up with PCP on parental
notification and sets up a clinic visit
• CF Center sees family and child in CF clinic
with infection control/cohorting
IRT + One Mutation
• CF Center will contact PCP
• PCP refers for diagnostic sweat testing at reference
laboratory (UMC or TMC)
• CF Center follows up results with PCP and
communicates with AzDHS
– If sweat chloride positive, then PCP/CF Center proceed with
notification and setting up care
– If sweat chloride negative, then PCP follows up with family
and counsels them regarding carrier status
• Positive or borderline sweat chlorides with one
mutation will lead to further in-depth genetic testing
conducted in consultation with the regional CF Center
False Positives
• Primary care provider delivers information to
family
– Negative sweat test results
– Carrier status
• No disease (or very, very unlikely)
• Implications for future pregnancies/children
• Family may request genetic testing to determine whether
both parents are carriers similar to carrier detection
situation in pregnant women
• Family may request / PCP may recommend formal
genetic counseling
• Should the child be informed of carrier status
when older?
False Positives
• 1/10 to 1/20 pregnancies have different biological
father than is socially apparent and this has
implications for carrier testing in parents
• Data following up false positives suggests that part of
future routine visits should be to clarify that the child
does not have cystic fibrosis to allay concern
• One mutation does place the child at higher risk such
as idiopathic pancreatitis or congenital absence of
the vas deferens
• The appearance of symptoms suggestive of cystic
fibrosis should lead to consultation and re-testing
AZ CF-NBS Results
•
•
•
•
November 1st, 2007 to October 21st, 2008
94,885 samples screened by IRT
~1,900 DNA test samples (top 2.2% IRT)
206 DNA analysis samples with one or two
mutations
AZ CF-NBS Results
• 17 infants diagnosed
– 7 infants were delF508 homozygotes
– 6 infants were compound heterozygotes
– 4 infants were diagnosed with one mutation and
positive sweat chloride
• Average age to first CF clinic: 30 days
• No infants diagnosed since inception of NBS
who were part of NBS program; i.e. false
negatives
Southern AZ Results
• November 1st, 2007 to February 1st, 2009
• 6 children diagnosed with two mutations
• 55 children had only one mutation
–
–
–
–
45 children with negative sweat test
2 children with positive sweat test / diagnosis
6 children still being worked up
2 children lost to follow-up – AzDHS referred
• Thus, of 47 children with one mutation and definitive
outcome information, only 2 or 4.3% had cystic
fibrosis
