Will a newborn screening test show positive for cystic fibrosis if only one parent is a carrier?
A newborn screening test for cystic fibrosis typically detects the presence of elevated levels of immunoreactive trypsinogen (IRT) in the blood, which can indicate the condition. However, a newborn can only have cystic fibrosis if both parents are carriers of the defective CFTR gene. If only one parent is a carrier, the child will not inherit the disease, but may still be tested as a carrier. Therefore, a positive newborn screening result may indicate the need for further testing to confirm the diagnosis.
What disadvantage of newborn screening?
