New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/19/2014 -- Most of the infants are born normal and healthy at the time of birth and with no family history of disorders. Unfortunately, once symptom appears in child, they are often irreversible leading to severe health and developmental problems. New-born screening helps in identifying various diseases in early stages. New-born screening is a series of tests in which new-born is screened to detect and identify inborn abnormalities or defects or conditions leading to disability or death. New-born screening is essential for early detection, diagnosis and management as to prevent disability and death of the child. It is performed soon after the birth of the baby and used for the detection of genetic, developmental and metabolic disorders in new-born babies. Various tests such as dry blood spot test, hearing screening test and critical congenital heart disease tests are performed in new-born screening. These tests are done to screen various conditions such as sickle cell disease, cystic fibrosis, new born hearing loss, critical congenital heart disease, congenital hypothyroidism, maple syrup urine disease and congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Blood test screening is done by taking few drops of blood from baby’s heel for laboratory analysis when baby is 24 to 48 hours old. The screening helps healthcare professionals to identify and take interventional steps before symptoms develop and prevent child from fatal disorder. Screening of conditions and cost of tests are different in different regions. New-born screening is categorized on the basis of technology as tandem mass spectrometry, electrophoresis, immunoassays and enzymatic assays, pulse oximetry screening technology, DNA-based assays and hearing screen technology.
