1 39 th National Conference on Pediatric Health Care March 19-22, 2018 CHICAGO Disclosures The Vision and the Journey of Cystic Fibrosis: Newborn Screening to Breakthrough Therapy March 20, 2018 Cynthia Brady, DNP, CPNP AC The speaker has no financial interests or relationships regarding the subject matter of this presentation to disclose Learning Objectives Describe the basic defect of cystic fibrosis (CF) Interpret results of CF Newborn Screening Program Understand how the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation supports advances in care and life expectancy Recognize how CF centers use CFF registry data to provide and improve care Appreciate breakthroughs in research for CF Woe to the child that tastes salty when kissed on the brow, for he is cursed and will soon die Northern European Folklore What is Cystic Fibrosis? Cystic fibrosis is a progressive, genetic disease that causes persistent lung infections and limits the ability to breathe over time Background Initially identified in 1938 as cystic fibrosis of the pancreas Incidence of 1/~3,500 births in the United States 1/3,200 Caucasian 1/8,000 Latino 1/15,000 African American 1/30,000 Asian 1:30 carrier status in Caucasian Americans 1

2 Genetics of Cystic Fibrosis CF occurs when a person has two CFTR mutations, one from each parent A child born to two carriers of CF has 25% chance of having CF 50% chance of being a carrier 25% chance of being neither a carrier or having clinical disease Most often in new diagnoses, there is no family history of CF CF Basic Defect Video Video 1 CFTR Mutation Mechanisms of Action How is Cystic Fibrosis Diagnosed? Cystic Fibrosis Infection, Inflammation Blocked ducts, Impaired mucosal defense Altered secretions Ion transport CFTR protein CFTR DNA CF lung disease begins at birth Abnormal CFTR protein and abnormal mucus causes: Obstruction Respiratory tract infection Inflammation Leading to: Structural damage Bronchiectasis Pulmonary insufficiency Eventually causing respiratory failure 1 Clinical Symptoms Chronic, productive cough Excessive sweat, salty taste Failure to thrive or poor weight gain, despite voracious appetite Greasy, foul smelling stools 2 Newborn Screening Pre symptomatic diagnosis In 2016, 624% of total new CF diagnoses and 86% of diagnoses among those less than 6 months old were detected by newborn screening Diagnostic Laboratory Studies CF Diagnosis 1 Quantitative sweat chloride* < 30 meq/l UNLIKELY CF meq/l INTERMEDIATE, INCONCLUSIVE > 60 meq/l POSITIVE DIAGNOSTIC FOR CYSTIC FIBROSIS 2 CFTR molecular testing Blood test to identify CFTR mutations What is Newborn Screening? Blood spot more than 50 metabolic, endocrine, blood, pulmonary/digestive, and immune disorders Hearing loss of hearing in the range where speech is heard Pulse oximetry critical congenital heart disease The term PKU test is not accurate and confuses parents! *Infants < 6 months (Farrell et al, Guidelines for Diagnosis of Cystic Fibrosis in the Era of Newborn Screening J Pediatrics 153:S4, 2008) 2

3 Why Screen for Cystic Fibrosis? 1 Nutrition and Growth Better growth persists into teen years Few cough symptoms, higher FEV 1 and better chest x ray scores at 6 years of age (Lai et al, Pediatrics, 2009;123: ) 2 Cognitive Development Vitamin E deficiency correlated with significantly lower memory skills Early nutritional insult associated with stunted cognitive development 3 Survival Decreased number of deaths in patients screened vs nonscreened Prevents fatal protein calorie malnutrition and electrolyte imbalance in infants; saves lives! (Waters et al, 1999), (Farrell et al, 2005) Why Screen for Cystic Fibrosis? 4 Pulmonary Benefit Variable outcomes: Significantly higher FEV 1 in patients diagnosed by newborn screen Adolescents diagnosed via newborn screening normal pulmonary function 5 Early Specialist Care Careful, frequent comprehensive evaluations by a mul disciplinary team Avoidance of complica ons and preven on of lung disease Careful nutri onal management Improve quality of life Why Screen for Cystic Fibrosis? 6 Parents and Family Members Genetic counseling Prevent misunderstandings Reproductive decision making Identification of carrier parents and other family members Identification of other affected family members Viewed as favorable by families: With an infant identified by newborn screening With an infant identified as being a carrier by newborn screening Why Screen for Cystic Fibrosis? 7 Society Cost effectiveness Lower annual cost per newly diagnosed CF infant via newborn screen vs diagnosed CF patient based on clinical symptoms Helps to eliminate disparities associated with access to services Newborn Screening in Minnesota High throughput lab (~70,000 births/year) Birth hospitals record demographics, collect samples, and send specimen cards to the Minnesota Department of Health Screening complete ~1 week Newborn Screening Step One State Newborn Screening Laboratory All specimens analyzed for Immunoreactive Trypsinogen (IRT) Pancreatic enzyme 3
