METABOLIC SCREENING IN
THE NEWBORN
Expanded newborn
screening is a very recent development that utilizes tandem mass
spectrometry (MS/MS) to screen for more than 20 inborn disorders of
metabolism from a single blood spot. This review explores the development
and application of MS/MS as a clinical diagnostic testing method and its
impact on newborn screening.
