Tina Cowan is an Associate Professor of Pathology at Stanford University Director of the Stanford Clinical
Biochemical Genetics Laboratory. She received her PhD in Genetics from UCLA and postdoctoral fellowship training
in Medical Genetics at the Universtiy of Maryland Baltimore. She is certified by the American Board of Medical
Genetics and Genomics in Clinical Biochemical Genetics, has served on a number of national committees and
boards for medical genetics, education, and laboratory quality.
Chunli Yu, M.D., FACMG, Associate Professor, Director of Biochemical Genetics Division, Mount Sinai Genetic
Testing Laboratory, Department of Genetics and Genomic Sciences, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New
York, NY
Dr. Yu is currently an Associate Professor of Genetics and Genomic Sciences Department at Icahn School of
Medicine at Mount Sinai and Director of Biochemical Genetics Division at Mount Sinai Genetic Testing Laboratory.
Dr. Yu was board certified in clinical biochemical genetics in 1999 and has extensive experiences in directing large
academic biochemical genetics laboratories. Dr. Yu’s professional career has been focused on the laboratory
diagnosis and monitoring of patients with inborn errors of metabolism of carbohydrates, fatty acids, amino acids, and
organic acids, as well as porphyrias and lysosomal storage diseases. She is particularly interested in applications of
LC-MS/MS technology in biochemical genetic testing and new assay development.

The Interpretation – General Guidelines
F1.2 In most cases, the analytical methods used by
biochemical genetics laboratories are similar to
those of standard clinical chemistry laboratories.
Accordingly, procedures for test validation, quality
control, quality assurance, and monitoring of safety
and equipment performance are generally the
same in both settings.
https://www.acmg.net/
Importantly, the biochemical genetics laboratory
differs from the clinical chemistry laboratory in the
extent of interpretation required in order to provide
a valid and meaningful result. Interpretation of
biochemical genetics tests should be provided by
an American Board of Medical Genetics (ABMG)certified clinical biochemical geneticist, ideally
taking into consideration the clinical history, results
of other tests, and other relevant parameters.
Ensuring a Meaningful Interpretation
Information provided to the laboratory
• Indication for testing
– Clinical presentation, abnormal NBS, positive family history, follow-up
of known condition
• Clinical history
– Diet, medications, nutritional status, other relevant factors
• Labs should seek information when needed
Knowledge of normal and disease states
• Elevated BCAA in catabolism vs. MSUD
• Enzyme pseudodeficiency
• Experience with as many conditions as possible
– Testing a broad range of known positives (challenging)
– Staying current with literature
– Collaboration is essential!

– Disclaimer (COM.40630)
Reports for laboratory-developed tests (LDTs) contain a statement that the assay was developed
by the laboratory.
Example: "This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by <Laboratory X>. It
has not been cleared or approved by the FDA. The laboratory is regulated under CLIA as qualified to
perform high-complexity testing. This test is used for clinical purposes. It should not be regarded as
investigational or for research.”

Last But Not Least….
www.aphl.org
• New tests must be completely validated, even if they
have already been validated by another laboratory
There is a summary statement, signed by the laboratory director (or designee who
meets CAP director qualifications) prior to use in patient testing, that includes the
evaluation of validation/verification studies and approval of each test for clinical
use.
The summary statement must include a written assessment of the validation/verification study, including the
acceptability of the data. The summary must also include a statement approving the test for clinical use with the
approval signature such as, "This validation study has been reviewed, and the performance of the method is considered
acceptable for patient testing."
For … LDTs, the summary must address analytical sensitivity, analytical specificity and any other parameter that is
considered important to assure that the analytical performance of a test (e.g. specimen stability, reagent stability,
linearity, carryover, and cross-contamination, etc.), as appropriate and applicable.
If the laboratory makes clinical claims about its tests, the summary must address the validation of these claims.
