**What Is Newborn Screening?**

Every newborn is tested for a group of health disorders that aren't otherwise found at birth. With a simple blood test, we can check for rare genetic, hormone-related, and metabolic conditions that can cause serious health problems. Newborn screening lets doctors diagnose babies quickly and start treatment as soon as possible.

Some of the conditions that can be detected by newborn bloodspot screening include:

*   **Phenylketonuria (PKU)** – a condition where the body cannot break down phenylalanine (found in food proteins). If untreated, PKU can lead to intellectual disability.

9.        **Hypothyroidism** – a condition where the thyroid gland does not make enough hormones. This can cause severe intellectual disability and growth problems. Early detection and treatment helps children to be healthy.

*   **Cystic fibrosis** – a condition where organs such as the lungs and pancreas make abnormal mucus that clogs the organs and stops them working properly.
*   **Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH)** (classic CAH type only, non-classic type or late onset CAH type is not screened) – a condition that affects the adrenal glands, which produce a number of key hormones that play critical roles in the body’s function, including child growth and development. CAH can be treated upon early detection.
*   **Other rare conditions that affect metabolism** – there are many other rare conditions that make the body unable to break down proteins and fats in the usual way. If these conditions are found and treated early before your baby becomes sick, they will have a better chance of having an improved health outcome.

**At Health Destination Labs**, we provide a comprehensive range of tests for newborn babies that are performed using state-of-the-art laboratory techniques and equipment. Our experienced and skilled team of pathologists and technicians utilize the latest technology to provide accurate and timely results to healthcare providers. We are committed to working closely with healthcare providers to ensure that their patients receive prompt and accurate test results, allowing for timely diagnosis and treatment.

Newborn Screening Tests

Molecular testing, or molecular diagnostics, refers to a group of tests that look at the genetic material in a specimen. It can detect genetic risk factors for certain diseases or provide evidence of infections in the body. Molecular tests use many different techniques to detect and amplify the visibility of molecules in samples. Samples may come from saliva, blood, or a biopsy.

*     
    **What is molecular testing used to determine?**  
      
    Molecular testing has many uses. Here are just some of them.  
      
    Molecular testing for cancer  
    Molecular testing can identify genes with links to certain cancers. For example, mutations in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes have links to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome. Molecular tests can also help identify biomarkers that suggest that certain treatments might be more effective. For example, certain changes in the EGFR gene can help doctors determine if EGFR inhibitors might effectively treat lung cancer.  
      
    Molecular testing for COVID-19  
    Molecular testing for COVID-19 involves using a technique called reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). This test can better inspect pieces of the SARS-CoV-2 virus to see if you have COVID-19. These tests are typically more accurate than antigen tests that look for proteins your immune system produces to defend against COVID-19.  
      
    Molecular HPV testing  
    Molecular human papillomavirus (HPV) tests involve analysing pieces of viral DNA to see whether they contain HPV. There are a variety of tests available that scientists can use to check for HPV.  
      
    Molecular testing for disease markers  
    Genetic tests can look for mutations or variations in your DNA linked to the development of certain diseases. This is useful if you have genetic conditions running in your family to see if you inherited the genes. For example, inherited changes in the genes LDLR, APOB, and PCSK9 have links to familial hypercholesterolemia.  
      
    Other Infectious diseases  
    Scientists can use molecular tests to diagnose respiratory, gastrointestinal, and central nervous infections. Some tests can detect more than 20 infectious organisms, such as viruses or bacteria, in about an hour.  
      
    Other uses  
    Molecular tests have many other purposes, including:  
      
    •    tracing ancestry  
    •    screening newborns for genetic conditions  
    •    forensic testing for identifying people for legal reasons  
    •    testing for possible drug resistance in bacteria  
    •    diagnosing other conditions like  
    o    thalassemia  
    o    flu strands  
    o    herpes simplex  
    o    neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease  
    o    STDs like chlamydia and gonorrhoea  
      
    Healthcare providers can easily schedule appointments for their patients to undergo molecular testing at Health Destination Labs. Our user-friendly online booking system allows doctors to reserve a time slot quickly and conveniently for their patients, minimizing wait times and streamlining the testing process. Our team of skilled professionals uses innovative methods to deliver accurate and reliable results, helping healthcare providers make informed decisions about their patients' health.
