One common disorder diagnosed in infants at birth is congenital hypothyroidism, which occurs when the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. This condition can lead to developmental delays and health issues if not treated promptly. Newborn screening programs typically test for this disorder shortly after birth, allowing for early intervention and management. Early diagnosis and treatment can help ensure healthy growth and development in affected infants.
