The aim of BabyDetect is to identify TREATABLE, EARLY-ONSET and SEVERE genetic conditions as soon as possible, in order to initiate the right treatment at the right moment.
Below is the list of diseases included in BabyDetect. This list of conditions has been established with the contribution of specialists in all fields of paediatrics.
The list is frequently updated, and what you will find below corresponds to the most up to date list of diseases that were included. Please note this list will change with time, as new diseases can be included, and some diseases that we screen for today could be excluded if treatments become unavailable.
The genes associated with conditions that are already currently screened in the Belgian newborn screening program are notified by *.
