Newborn Screening: This is a routine test performed on all newborns to screen for certain genetic, metabolic, and endocrine disorders.
Chromosomal Analysis: This involves examining the chromosomes for any abnormalities using techniques like karyotyping or Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH).
DNA Sequencing: This method analyzes the sequence of the baby's DNA to identify mutations or variations associated with genetic disorders.
