The Baby Screen- Basic 4 Conditions Test is designed to identify four common genetic conditions that can affect infants. These conditions include:

  1. Phenylketonuria (PKU): A metabolic disorder that causes a build-up of the amino acid phenylalanine in the body, which can lead to intellectual disability if not treated.
  2. Galactosemia: A condition in which the body is unable to process the sugar galactose, leading to serious complications if not managed through diet.
  3. Congenital Hypothyroidism: A disorder in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone, which can result in developmental delays if left untreated.
  4. Sickle Cell Anemia: A genetic blood disorder in which red blood cells are misshapen and can cause various health problems, including pain and organ damage.

By identifying these conditions early through newborn screening, healthcare providers can initiate treatment and management strategies to prevent or minimize the potential complications associated with these disorders.
