Neonatal Genetic Screening
Genetic study complementary to the heel prick test that diagnoses 100 metabolic diseases and other diverse genetic conditions.
The newborn provides information for preventive management, diet or early treatment of genetic diseases that appear during the early stages of life. Knowing this information is key, as 65% of diseases are treatable through diet or early intervention, before symptoms appear.

What is Neonatal Genetic Screening?
-
Neonatal genetic screening is a set of tests performed on newborns to detect potential genetic or metabolic disorders that can cause serious health issues or long-term disabilities. It is conducted by obtaining a blood sample from the baby's heel and can identify a wide range of diseases, enabling early intervention and prevention of potential long-term complications.
What is Neonatal Genetic Screening?
-
Neonatal genetic screening is a set of tests performed on newborns to detect possible genetic or metabolic disorders that can cause serious health problems or long-term disabilities. It is performed using a blood sample obtained from the baby's heel, and can detect a wide variety of diseases, for which early measures can be taken to treat the baby and prevent possible long-term complications.
What is included in this Neonatal Genetic Screening exam?
-
It is a genetic study that complements the lifelong heel prick test. This "Neonatal Genetic Screening" allows for the analysis of 193 genes associated with 100 metabolic diseases and other diverse genetic conditions, carefully selected based on their characteristics, incidence, clinical consequences if left untreated, and acute and chronic management as recommended by the American College of Medical Genetics Newborn Screening Expert Group report.
For example, it includes the study of diseases that are not covered in the conventional heel prick test, such as Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA).
In addition to the test, counseling is provided to parents once the results are obtained.
Who is Neonatal Genetic Screening indicated for?
-
For newborn babies and children up to 5 years old.
