Abstract
This case series highlights the consequences of false negative screening results, which served as the impetus to upgrade New Jersey's CF NBS algorithm. Implemented changes include lowering the IRT cutoff to 70 ng/mL and expanding to a 139 variant CFTR panel. In 2023, a floating IRT cutoff is anticipated to be implemented.
