Test Cost: AED 1290.0
Welcome to DNA Labs UAE, your trusted genetic lab for comprehensive newborn screening. Our NEWBORN SCREENING PANEL COMPREHENSIVE Test is designed to detect genetic, metabolic, and hormonal disorders in newborn babies that may not be apparent at birth. Early detection and treatment of these disorders can significantly improve the baby’s health and well-being.
Test Components
- G6PD
- TSH
- Cystic Fibrosis
- 17-Hydroxyprogesterone
- Galactosemia
- Biotinidase
- Hemoglobinopathy
- IMD Panel-50 Disorders
Test Details
The Newborn Screening Panel Comprehensive Test is typically performed within the first few days of a baby’s life. A small blood sample is taken from a heel prick and analyzed using fluoroimmunoassay, capillary electrophoresis, and tandem mass spectrometry methods. This allows us to screen for a wide range of conditions, including but not limited to:
- Phenylketonuria (PKU)
- Congenital hypothyroidism
- Galactosemia
- Sickle cell disease
- Cystic fibrosis
- Maple syrup urine disease
- Biotinidase deficiency
- Medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency
- Congenital adrenal hyperplasia
- Homocystinuria
These are just a few examples of the conditions that may be screened for in our comprehensive newborn screening panel. The specific tests included may vary depending on the country and healthcare provider.
Sample Condition and Report Delivery
To perform the test, we require 1 drop of heel prick blood on 3 spots of filter paper. The sample must be shipped refrigerated, and it is crucial not to freeze it. Clinical details and drug history must accompany the sample for accurate analysis. Sample collection is available on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays by 9 am, and the report will be delivered the next day.
Pre Test Information
Clinical details and drug history must accompany the sample to ensure accurate interpretation of the test results.
Consulting Doctors
Our test is recommended by Pediatricians, Physicians, and Gynecologists who specialize in genetic disorders.

The Newborn Screening Panel Comprehensive Test is a screening test performed on newborn babies to detect certain genetic, metabolic, and hormonal disorders that may not be apparent at birth. This test is typically done within the first few days of a baby’s life and involves a blood sample taken from a heel prick. The test screens for a wide range of conditions, including but not limited to: 1. Phenylketonuria (PKU): A metabolic disorder that affects the body’s ability to break down the amino acid phenylalanine. 2. Congenital hypothyroidism: A condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone, which is crucial for normal growth and development. 3. Galactosemia: An inherited disorder that impairs the body’s ability to process galactose, a sugar found in milk and dairy products. 4. Sickle cell disease: A group of inherited blood disorders that affect the red blood cells, causing them to become misshapen and less efficient at carrying oxygen. 5. Cystic fibrosis: A genetic disorder that affects the lungs, digestive system, and other organs, causing thick, sticky mucus to build up. 6. Maple syrup urine disease: A metabolic disorder that prevents the body from breaking down certain amino acids properly, leading to a buildup of toxic substances. 7. Biotinidase deficiency: A condition that impairs the body’s ability to process the vitamin biotin, leading to various symptoms and complications. 8. Medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency: A metabolic disorder that affects the body’s ability to break down certain fats for energy. 9. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia: A group of genetic disorders that affect the adrenal glands, leading to hormonal imbalances and various symptoms. 10. Homocystinuria: A metabolic disorder that impairs the body’s ability to process the amino acid homocysteine, leading to various symptoms and complications. These are just a few examples of the conditions that may be screened for in a comprehensive newborn screening panel. The specific tests included in the panel may vary depending on the country and healthcare provider. Early detection and treatment of these disorders can help prevent or minimize long-term complications and improve the baby’s overall health and well-being. |
