To help ensure babies will
be as healthy as possible all New York State babies are tested
shortly after birth for selected metabolic, hematologic and
other genetic and congenital diseases.
The goal is early identification of children at increased risk
for these conditions. Early identification allows for prompt
initiation of medical treatment that can avert metabolic crises
and prevent irreversible neurological and developmental sequelae.
