Genetically characterized positive control cell lines derived from residual clinical blood samples.
BACKGROUND Positive control materials for clinical diagnostic molecular genetic testing are in critically short supply. High-quality DNA that closely resembles DNA isolated from patient specimens can be obtained from Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-transformed peripheral blood lymphocyte cell lines. Here we report the development of a process to (a) recover residual blood samples with clinically impor...
متن کاملNewborn dried blood spot screening: residual specimen storage issues.
Traditional newborn dried blood spot screening (NDBS) has expanded in recent years to include upwards of 50 different conditions in many states. Once the screening tests are complete, the residual blood specimens (RBSs) that remain are most often available for quality assurance and public health research. The articles by Botkin et al1 and Bombard et al2 contained in this issue of Pediatrics inv...
متن کاملFirst Argentine study on alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency in dried blood spot samples from COPD patients.
We welcome the cross-sectional, observational, case-finding study on alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) in 1002 individuals with COPD conducted by Sorroche et al. in Buenos Aires. This is the first study of its kind in Argentina.1 The authors set out to identify all genotypes associated with severe AATD (namely, Pi*ZZ and Pi*SZ) using an effective screening technique based on the quantificat...
متن کاملDetermination of hematocrit interference in blood samples derived from patients with different blood glucose concentrations.
BACKGROUND We performed a blood glucose meter hematocrit (HCT) interference test with lower sample manipulation requirements by using blood samples from patients with different blood glucose (BG) levels. METHODS Blood from five patients with different BG levels (2.8, 5.6, 8.3, 13.9, 19.4 mmol/liter) was manipulated to contain five different HCT concentrations (35/40/45/50/55%). Each sample w...
متن کاملGuidelines for the retention, storage, and use of residual dried blood spot samples after newborn screening analysis: statement of the Council of Regional Networks for Genetic Services.
These guidelines provide scientific information for policy development by state health departments considering appropriate use of newborn screening specimens after screening tests are finished. Information was collected, debated, and formulated into a policy statement by the Newborn Screening Committee of the Council of Regional Networks for Genetic Services (CORN), a federally funded national ...
