What is Newborn Screening?
(NBS)
Newborn screening is the process of testing newborn
babies for treatable genetic, endocrinological,
metabolic and haematological diseases. They are
also known as Inborn Errors of Metabolism (IEM)
and these occur when the baby is unable to break
down certain naturally produced chemicals which
can then build up and lead to slow physical development
or brain damage and in some cases, even death.
Parents can pass on the family gene of certain
disorders without even knowing that they are carriers.
Newborn screening has been adopted by most countries
around the world, though the list of screened
diseases varies widely, depending on the prevalence
of diseases in that region. In the United States,
they routinely screen for around 30 parameters.
The comprehensive Newborn Screening programme
that Eastern Innovative offers, screens for 50+
IEM disorders that are curable if detected
at an early age.
