Why Newborn Screening Test is Essential for Lifelong Health

As a new parent, your top priority is protecting your baby’s health-today and for years to come. That’s where newborn genetic screening plays a critical role. Early detection of hidden conditions can empower you with life-saving information and allow for personalised care from day one.

At Phenome Longevity, our Newborn Screening Test uses advanced genetic and metabolic analysis to uncover potential health risks that may not be visible at birth but could affect your baby’s growth, development, and long-term wellbeing.

What Is a Newborn Screening Test?

A newborn screening test is a non-invasive genetic and biochemical analysis performed in the first weeks of life. It detects hereditary conditions, endocrine disorders, and metabolic imbalances that might not show symptoms until later but could cause serious complications if left untreated.

Unlike limited panels used in hospitals, our comprehensive test analyses a wide range of conditions with clinical-grade accuracy-providing peace of mind and a powerful tool for proactive parenting.

What Our Test Covers

Phenome Longevity’s Newborn Screening Test offers broad clinical coverage, including:

✅ Genetic Disorders - such as cystic fibrosis, phenylketonuria (PKU), spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), and thalassemia.

✅ Endocrine Conditions - including congenital hypothyroidism and adrenal hyperplasia.

✅ Metabolic Diseases - such as medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MCADD) and galactosemia.

✅ Carrier Status - identify if your child carries inherited genetic mutations that may affect future family planning.

✅ Nutritional and Vitamin Deficiencies - such as B12 or folate metabolism issues that may impact development.

Why Early Detection Matters

Early identification allows for timely medical intervention before symptoms appear. In many cases, prompt treatment can prevent severe outcomes like cognitive impairment, growth failure, or life-threatening crises. Genetic screening enables personalised decisions around:

• Nutrition and supplementation
• Vaccination timing
• Monitoring and paediatric follow-ups
• Preventive therapy or lifestyle changes

This level of precision care ensures your baby has the strongest foundation for lifelong health.

Who Should Get a Newborn Screening Test?

Our test is ideal for:

• All newborns as part of a proactive peadiatric plan
• Families with a history of genetic or metabolic conditions
• Parents seeking personalised and preventive healthcare for their child
