There is significant variation in practice in the detection, analysis and reporting. A survey in 2007 of 137 laboratories participating in the UK National External Quality Assessment Service (UK NEQAS) (6) quality control program showed significant variation in the laboratory processes which highlighted the need for standardisation of the detection, analysis and reporting of cryoglobulins.The first available EQA scheme aiming...

The presence of white cell Jordan's anomaly in multiple Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency: A case report and implications for clinical practice
CONCLUSION: The identification of Jordan's anomaly in a pediatric patient with late-onset MADD sheds light on its broader implications within the realm of lipid storage myopathies. The significance of this finding extends beyond its conventional association with NLSD, challenging the notion of its exclusivity. This novel observation serves as a compelling reminder of the diagnostic significance this morphological abnormality holds, potentially revolutionizing diagnostic practices within the field.PMID:38401771 | DOI:10.1016/j.clinbiochem.2024.110735 (Source: Clinical Biochemistry)
