Pathology, 2008
The aim of newborn screening is to detect newborns with serious, treatable disorders so as to facilitate appropriate interventions to avoid or ameliorate adverse outcomes. Mass biochemical testing of newborn babies was pioneered in the 1960s with the introduction of screening for phenylketonuria, a rare inborn error of metabolism, tested by using a ...

Metabolic screening for the newborn

The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine, 2011
The advent of tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) around 10 years ago allowed to enlarge consistently the spectrum of metabolic diseases that might be easily and quickly detected. MS/MS was applied to newborn screening in many developed countries, with a wide use, to detect as many as 55 abnormal biochemical conditions (USA), or a restricted one detecting

Issues in Newborn Screening

Genetic Testing, 2003
Newborn screening aims at the earliest possible recognition of disorders so that intervention with effective treatment can prevent the most serious consequences of the disorder. However, of several thousand known genetic disorders, therapy is presently available for only a small proportion of them. Newborn screening was first applied to phenylketonuria

The Importance of Newborn Screening

Pediatrics, 2000
To the Editor. The commentary by Howse and Katz1 commendably calls for equity in access to newborn screening tests and uniform quality of those tests.

Expanded Newborn Screening

Pediatric Annals, 2003
The advent of expanded newborn screening has resulted in huge advances in the ability to detect presymptomatic infants with a large number of inborn errors of metabolism. Widespread implementation of this type of screening will ultimately lead to reduced mortality and morbidity from these diseases and also will increase our knowledge of the frequency ...
