In this webinar, Dr. Wendy Chung covers a range of topics related to newborn screening (NBS) for neurodevelopmental disorders.
Background: Newborn screening (NBS) provides early pre-symptomatic diagnosis, medical assessment, and intervention, which may prevent or decrease the burden of medical conditions and disabilities. However, the lack of curative treatments has made it nearly impossible to consider Neurodevelopmental Disorders (NDDs) in the current NBS process. There is a critical need for large-scale pilot studies to find out if and how NDDs can be effectively screened at birth, if parents desire that information, and what effect early diagnosis may have. We hope that you join us to learn more about this topic.
