What is Newborn Screening Panel?
Newborn screening checks a few drops of blood (usually a heel-prick sample, taken 48-72 hours after birth) for a panel of rare but serious congenital conditions — thyroid deficiency, metabolic disorders, G6PD deficiency, CAH and others — that show no symptoms at birth but are far more manageable when caught in the first weeks of life rather than found later. Panels vary by lab from a basic handful of conditions up to 50+.
Why is Newborn Screening Panel done?
- Screens a newborn for treatable conditions that may show no symptoms at birth — including congenital hypothyroidism, CAH, G6PD deficiency, galactosemia, biotinidase deficiency and phenylketonuria (PKU).
- Early detection lets treatment — such as thyroid hormone or a special diet — start before permanent harm occurs.
- Needs only a few drops of blood from the baby's heel.
Who may be advised to take Newborn Screening Panel?
- Every newborn — ideally sampled between 48 and 72 hours after birth, and before discharge where possible.
- Babies born at home or in centres without a routine screening programme.
- Parents who want a wider panel than the basic screen offered at the birth hospital.
