Will a newborn screening test show positive for cystic fibrosis if only one parent is a carrier?
A newborn screening test for cystic fibrosis typically detects the presence of elevated levels of immunoreactive trypsinogen (IRT) in the blood, which can indicate the condition. However, a newborn can only have cystic fibrosis if both parents are carriers of the defective CFTR gene. If only one parent is a carrier, the child will not inherit the disease, but may still be tested as a carrier. Therefore, a positive newborn screening result may indicate the need for further testing to confirm the diagnosis.

Is LC MS more reliable test for Newborn screening or is it GC MS?
LCMS (actually) LCMS/MS goes the half way for newborn screening. Its then the GCMS which comes for rescue. It clarifies the results given by LCMS and says with accuracy whether it is a positive or a negative case, against what was indicated in the LCMS screening. GCMS is mostly based on urine sample while LCMS needs blood spots. Thats where GCMS already scores a big point above LCMS. Further, GCMS "confirms" a disorder, while LCMS stops at "maybe". GCMS tests for a massive range of disorders while LCMS is limited to a few class of disorders. GCMS is the future of screening, while LCMS is the present of screening.
