All newborn screening programs screen for severe combined immunodeficiency by measurement of T-cell receptor excision circles (TRECs). Herein, we report our experience of reporting TREC assay results as multiple of the median (MoM) rather than using conventional copy numbers. This modification simplifies the assay by eliminating the need for standards with known TREC copy numbers. Furthermore, since MoM is a measure of how far an individual test result deviates from the median, it allows normalization of TREC assay data from different laboratories, so that individual test results can be compared regardless of the particular method, assay, or reagents used.

Abstract: Severe combined immunodeficiency is the first immune deficiency disorder which was included in the newborn screening program in the United States in 2010. In Hungary, newborn screening for severe combined immunodeficiencies is crucial because of the routine BCG vaccination, as in the case of an affected newborn with negative family history, the vaccine may lead to fatal BCG-itis. This paper analyzes the possibilities of introducing newborn screening for severe combined immunodeficiencies and summarizes current experiences and results. Orv Hetil. 2018; 159(23): 948–956.
