  1. Virtual Roundtable on States’ Experiences Screening for Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Maryland SCID/SMA Multiplex Assay Drs. Fizza Gulamali-Majid and Jennifer Taylor Maryland Department of Health Newborn Screening Division 10/24/19

  2. Screening Method • Method developed at CDC • PCR performed with 2-mm DBS punch in PCR plate • TREC and SMN1 (exon 7) multiple assay • RNaseP (RPP30) is used as a reference gene • AriaMX real-time PCR instrument • Biomek NXp is used to process the plates • Analytical Considerations • No increase in retest rate with the addition of SMA • Most specimens that are inconclusive for SMA are inconclusive for SCID

  4. SMA Screening Results • Started Screening May 31 st , 2019 • Screened over 57,894 specimens • Screened over 31,914 infants • 3 cases sent to follow-up • All 3 cases had no amplification of SMN1 exon 7 in the initial and repeat specimen • Case 1: SMA type 1 and was treated with Zolgensma • Case 2: Diagnosed with SMA, but currently presymptomic • Case 3 is pending • Screen-positive infants are seen at John Hopkins Hospital, Pediatric Neurology • No known false negatives 4
