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 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?
