Step 2: Screening
What to expect |
The screening is very simple. When your
baby is born, the hospital will take a small
blood sample for routine testing. This is
done for all new babies. We can use a small
portion of this sample to do the screening. If
we did not get a sample in the hospital, and
your baby is less than 3 months old, we can
still get a sample for screening. We will also
ask you a few questions about your family
for our study. You should get your baby's
test results in 6-8 weeks.
