Evaluation of the GSP Creatine Kinase-MM Assay and Assessment of CK-MM Stability in Newborn, Patient, and Contrived Dried Blood Spots for Newborn Screening for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a fatal X-linked disorder with a birth prevalence of 19.8:100,000 males worldwide. Elevated concentration of the muscle enzyme creatine kinase-MM (CK-MM) allows for presymptomatic screening of newborns using Dried Blood Spots (DBS). We evaluated imprecision and c...

Sumario: | Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a fatal X-linked disorder with a birth prevalence of 19.8:100,000 males worldwide. Elevated concentration of the muscle enzyme creatine kinase-MM (CK-MM) allows for presymptomatic screening of newborns using Dried Blood Spots (DBS). We evaluated imprecision and carryover of the FDA-approved PerkinElmer GSP Neonatal CK-MM kit over multiple runs, days, and operators, followed by quantification of CK-MM loss in stored newborn, contrived, and non-newborn patient DBS resulting from exposure to ambient versus low humidity (50-day trial), and high humidity and high temperature (8-day trial). Imprecision %CV was ≤14% for all verification comparisons and over 6 months of testing. On average, the mean CK-MM recovery after 50 days was >80% of initial concentration for all sample types stored in low humidity and <80% in ambient humidity. After 8 days of storage in high humidity and high temperature, the mean recovery for newborn samples was <80%. Verification results for the GSP Neonatal CK-MM assay were concordant with kit parameters and the assay performed consistently over 6 months. CK-MM degradation in ambient storage can be mitigated by reducing exposure to humidity. Assessment of DBS shipping and storage conditions is recommended prior to implementing DMD screening. |
