Background:

Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is a group of rare genetic disorders characterized by profound defects in T-cell and B-cell immunity.
Early detection and treatment of SCID are crucial for improving survival rates and long-term outcomes in affected infants.
The Danish Neonatal Screening Program aims to expand its scope to include SCID screening.

Purpose of the Study:

To validate the performance of a RealtimePCR kit for SCID screening in a national neonatal program.
To present the initial results and practical experiences from the first 10 months of SCID screening in Denmark.

Main Methods:

Implementation of a RealtimePCR-based screening assay for SCID within the Danish Neonatal Screening Program.
Prospective analysis of screening data, including kit validation metrics and case identification.

Main Results:

The RealtimePCR kit demonstrated reliable performance for SCID screening.
Initial screening data from the first 10 months provided insights into SCID prevalence and program operation.

Conclusions:

The integration of SCID screening into the Danish Neonatal Screening Program using RealtimePCR is feasible and effective.
Continued monitoring and evaluation are essential for optimizing the SCID screening program.
