New born screeing
1.
2. Newborn screening is the process of testing newborn
babies for treatable genetic endocrinologic, metabolic and
hematologic diseases
These metabolic disorders (Inborn errors of metabolism) interfere with
the body's use of nutrients to maintain healthy tissues and produce
energy.
These inherited disorders can hinder an infant's normal physical and
mental development in a variety of ways.
With a simple blood test, these disorders can be diagnosed.
Early diagnosis and proper treatment can make the difference
between lifelong impairment and healthy development

12. The state health department agency run the mandated screening tests on
the filter paper samples.
If screens are normal, a paper report is sent to the submitting hospital and
parents rarely hear about it
If an abnormality occurs, they inform the physician and hospital.
They arrange an evaluation of the infant by an appropriate specialist
physician (depending on the disease).
The specialist will attempt to confirm the diagnosis by repeating the tests
by a different method or by performing other corroboratory tests.
Depending on the diagnosis and the risk of delay, the specialist will initiate
treatment and provide information to the family.
13. Screening is available for more than 30 disorders
One screening technique, the tandem mass spectrometry (or MS/MS),
can screen for more than 20 inherited metabolic disorders with a single
drop of blood
MS/MS measures the ratio of the mass (m) of a chemical to its charge
(z)
Extraction with methanol to form butyl ester derivatives of amino acid
and acyl carnitine
Injected to mass spectrophotometer
Molecules are ionized and separated based on their M/z ratio
Ions are separated by First MS & Enter collision cell , broken down to fragments
Fragments enter the second ms and separated according to m/z ratio
