Question
Dear doctors at the hospital, my baby has undergone a newborn disease screening, but the gender on the result sheet was mistakenly marked as male instead of female. Does this affect the test results? I would like to inquire about any shortcomings in the newborn disease screening process.
Answer
Infant disease screening is carried out through advanced laboratory tests to detect serious genetic and metabolic diseases in every baby, enabling early diagnosis and treatment to prevent brain, liver, and kidney damage that can lead to intellectual disability, physical development issues, or even death. Gender errors will not affect the test results. However, you should check whether the test results are incorrect.
