Despite its benefits, rigorous testing in neonates poses several challenges:
- False Alarms: False-positive results can cause unnecessary anxiety for parents and lead to further invasive testing. - Resource Intensive: Comprehensive testing requires significant medical resources and trained personnel. - Ethical Considerations: Genetic testing raises ethical questions about the future use of genetic information and potential discrimination. - Access to Care: Not all healthcare facilities have the capability to perform advanced neonatal testing, leading to disparities in care.
