International Collaboration. At the end of 2017, the RIVM organized a first meeting about SCID screening with newborn screening experts from the Karolinksa Institutet (Stockholm, Sweden) and experts of the newborn screening program of the United Kingdom. In this meeting, new developments were discussed and experiences and results were shared, providing new inspiration for all parties involved. At the 11th European regional meeting of the International Society of Newborn Screening (ISNS) in Bratislava, Slovakia (October 2018), a session about newborn screening for SCID was organized in which experiences of several countries with regard to SCID screening were shared. Moreover, future developments in the field of newborn screening for primary immunodeficiencies, such as newborn screening for XLA, congenital neutropenia and IPEX syndrome were also discussed. As newborn screening for SCID in Europe is still in its infancy, with many European countries planning pilot studies or awaiting governmental implementation decisions, the RIVM is open for collaboration with all interested parties. Newborn screening for SCID might provide the perfect opportunity to initiate more international collaboration in the field of newborn screening.
