| Usage: |
The aim of newborn screening is to detect diagnostic markers of treatable disorders in blood spots collected from pre-symptomatic newborns. Early identification of disorders significantly improves the long-term prognosis of affected patients, minimizes complications, avoids unnecessary diagnostic testing, and identifies families for whom prenatal genetic counseling may be helpful. |
