Subject: RE: ACT Sheets and
Algorithms for Final Approval - Endocrinopathies
This note is
to inform you that the newborn screening ACT sheets and algorithms are now live
on the ACMG web site (acmg.net). You can get to them through http://www.acmg.net/resources/policies/ACT/condition-analyte-links.htm.
We greatly appreciate all of your help getting these materials done and into
use. As you may know, the materials have been well received. The
We are also
sending out a utility survey about these materials. A good number of
states are planning to attach these materials to screen-positive results that
go out of their newborn screening labs and we are asking that they send the
survey for the first 2 months or so. This will provide us with some
feedback as to how well the materials work for primary care professionals.
Later this year, we'll share with you any comments and any plans that might
arise to edit these.
It is also
true that no good deed goes unpunished. We are beginning in a new batch of
ACT sheets and algorithms for the non-S-allele associated hemoglobinopathies
and expect to develop additional new materials as new conditions are added to
newborn screening panels.
Thank,
Mike
