A cost-effectiveness evaluation of newborn hemoglobinopathy screening from the perspective of state health care systems.
OBJECTIVE To determine the most cost-effective strategy for newborn hemoglobinopathy screening from the perspective of state health care systems. STUDY DESIGN Using Alaska as an example, we used decision analysis to compare a policy of no screening to universal or targeted screening with selective follow-up only of infants who are homozygous or compound heterozygous for an abnormal hemoglobin...
متن کاملOn symptomatic heterozygous alpha-sarcoglycan gene mutation carriers.
Mutations in the human alpha-sarcoglycan gene on chromosome 17q21.2 have been shown to cause a severe childhood autosomal recessive muscular dystrophy, a less severe limb girdle muscular dystrophy, exercise intolerance, or asymptomatic hyperCKemia. Here, we describe the clinical findings in a German family harboring a 371 T > C (Ile124Thr) missense mutation in the alpha-sarcoglycan gene. Wherea...
متن کاملIron absorption by heterozygous carriers of the HFE C282Y mutation associated with hemochromatosis.
BACKGROUND Research conducted before genotyping was possible suggested that subjects heterozygous for the genetic mutation associated with hemochromatosis absorbed nonheme iron more efficiently than did control subjects when tested with a fortified meal. Heme-iron absorption in these subjects has not been reported. OBJECTIVE We compared the absorption of heme and nonheme iron from minimally o...
متن کاملCongenital Hyperinsulinism and Glucose Hypersensitivity in Homozygous and Heterozygous Carriers of Kir6.2 (KCNJ11) Mutation V290M Mutation
OBJECTIVE The ATP-sensitive K(+) channel (K(ATP)) controls insulin secretion from the islet. Gain- or loss-of-function mutations in channel subunits underlie human neonatal diabetes and congenital hyperinsulinism (HI), respectively. In this study, we sought to identify the mechanistic basis of K(ATP)-induced HI in two probands and to characterize the clinical course. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHO...
متن کاملCystic fibrosis newborn screening and detection of carriers.
A decision to introduce nationwide cystic fibrosis (CF) newborn screening in the United Kingdom has now been taken, although the exact procedure is still being determined, except in Scotland where screening began in February 2003. In Scotland, as well as in a number of regions in England and Wales where ad hoc newborn screening was started some time ago, an immune reactive trypsin (IRT)/ DNA sy...
