The Newborn Screening Quality Assurance Program (NSQAP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), distributed driedblood- spot (DBS) quality control (QC) materials for thyroxine (T4), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), 17 ?-hydroxyprogesterone (17- OHP), total galactose (Gal), phenylalanine (Phe), leucine (Leu), methionine (Met), tyrosine (Tyr), valine (Val), citrulline (Cit), and ten acylcarnitines (C2, C3, C4, C5, C5DC, C6, C8, C10, C14, C16) to laboratories operating newborn screening programs and to manufacturers of screening test products. Included with each semiannual shipment of QC specimens were datareport forms to be completed and returned to CDC.
