A one-stop-solution for all your newborn screening needs
While most babies are born healthy, some may have an underlying disorder that often goes undetected at birth. If not caught early, it may lead to a life-threatening situation or cause physical or intellectual disability. These disorders are called metabolic or genetic disorders. These disorders are rare, but can be harmful, even deadly, when undetected. For example, newborns may have difficulty metabolizing food, placing them at risk for serious health complications such as intellectual disability, coma, and even death. Early detection of these conditions through Newborn Screening can allow for timely diagnosis and intervention, which may help give affected babies a healthy start to life.
