newborn screening false negatives???

[3LilFightersmom]

Was wondering if anyone out there had their child's newborn screen come back negative, to later run genetics or sweat test and confirm diagnosis of cf? Trying to find statistics on this on the web, but no luck.

I did some searching on this and found in an article about Washington's screening a reference to research done in Colorado. This stated that newborn screening yielded false negative results 3-6% of the time. I did more research trying to find more about this and couldn't find much, until I came across the link below- which talks about the Colorado studies and a false-negative statistic of about 5%.

thanks... appreciate this. we just had our 4th son, who's screening came back negative, waiting on genetics just to be sure... but was wondering what the error margin was.
