“…The number of CF newborns among newborns with IRT levels within normal limits was not determined. 14 However, the number of CF newborns with normal IRT levels should be small, considering that the CF incidence of 60/160,019 (ϭ 1/2,667) in this study was so close to the 1/2,500 incidence widely used as the incidence of CF among non-Hispanic Caucasians. 1 Therefore, the probability that a CF affected, carrier, or noncarrier newborn has hypertrypsinogenemia is estimated to be 1 (ϭ 60/60), 0.041 (ϭ 250/6,077), or 0.011 [ϭ 1654/(160,019 Ϫ 60 Ϫ 6,077)], respectively ( Fig.…”
