1 QA-LSD Quality Assessment Enzyme Analysis for Lysosomal Storage Diseases Pilots large scale 26 (36) 27 (46) 28 (55) 29 (59) 21

2 QA-pilots for LSD s What is it all about? Constant supply of material A constant difficulty for QA-schemes Detecting enzyme deficiencies Material form LSD patients: EBV lymphoblasts Reproducibility Duplicate, triplicate or quadruplicate samples

3 QA-pilots for LSD s The 28 and 29 pilots Participants pilot 28 : 55 participants (Protein- & 4MU-standards) pilot 29-1: 59 participants (Leuko s, EBV lympho s) pilot 29-2: 27 participant (DBS) 6 samples & 8 enzymes, LSD patients included Result have been presented at the ESGLD Workshop 29 September 1-13, 29, Bad Honnef A paper on 4 years large scale QA-LSD (to be published in 21) Authors from ESGLD, SKML and ERNDIM

4 Protein- and 4MU-standards, 4 duplicates (QA-ESGLD/ERNDIM 28) Unintended, EBV cell cultures were lost by fungus infection Confusing I did not double-check the samples Informative The identical samples emphasised the problem of reconstitution of lyophilised samples

18 Dried Blood Spots Blood samples for DBS How to prevent wasting patients blood?

19 Cost break up: QA for LSD s Cost estimate (5 participants) 1 enzymes: 8 conventional samples + DBS / year EBV lympho s from LSD patients, 6 samples 75 Control leukocytes, 2 samples (Rottedam) DBS samples (All participants) Preparation of 8 homogenates (Rotterdam) 5 Freeze-drying, Shipping & Data Base managing 15 Transport of EBV cells & miscellaneous 25 Costs of ERNDIM 1 Total cost / participant 4

20 QA for LSD s, a new ERNDIM scheme Starting 21 Participants pay the costs Lyophilised homogenates of leuko s & EBV-lympho s from LSD-patients. DBS samples included, when available Website adaptations for Enzyme analysis Error free extraction of raw-data from the ERNDIM database Graphical presentation (dot-plots) Patient samples expressed as % of normal enzyme activity Certificate of Participations

21 QA for LSD s, a new ERNDIM scheme What needs to be done Some thoughts about the Certificate of Participation: score for detecting LSD patients (+) score for reproducibility (+ to ) score for detecting enzyme deficiencies in normal samples ( ) score No show on an ERNDIM DPT meeting ( ) Poor performance should have consequences Repetitive poor-performance should have severe consequences We should ask our accrediting bodies to set more stringent rules Merely participating is not sufficient, the scores should get moer weight.
