What is the chance that a baby will have one of the conditions detectable through newborn blood spot screening?
Five percent of newborns will have one or more out-of-range (screen positive) results for the 60+ conditions being tested. Being screen positive requires follow-up testing but does not necessarily indicate that the newborn has the condition. The prevalence of each disorder differs.
