EQA Assessment

The newborn screening pilot EQA scheme is designed to assess a laboratory’s ability to perform genomic testing in the context of newborn screening.

Sample Details

Artificial dried blood spot (DBS) materials and genomic DNA (gDNA) samples will be provided with mock clinical case information for conditions including spinal muscular atrophy (SMA; SMN1/SMN2), cystic fibrosis (CFTR), phenylketonuria (PKU; PAH) as well as optional sample for panel testing (e.g. glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency and medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MCADD)). A minimum of two mock clinical cases with matching samples will be provided. One of them will be provided as DBS material.

Participation Information

Participants are expected to test samples according to their routine strategy and to return a clinical report.

No restrictions on number of participants. Open to laboratories from ALL countries (note: some restrictions may apply due to sanctions, delivery network exceptions, restrictions on importation etc).
