This test is recommended for:
- All newborns within 24-72 hours of birth.
- Babies with a family history of genetic or metabolic disorders.
A few drops of blood are collected from the baby’s heel and analyzed using tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) and immunoassays.
- Positive Screening: Indicates the need for confirmatory testing.
- Negative Screening: Suggests no detectable disorders.
Early identification allows prompt treatment and management, preventing severe complications and developmental delays.
