Genetic Screens

5.4K
Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing  genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which...

Serum Laboratory Studies, Stool Test, Breath Test

604
Gastrointestinal (GI) diagnostic studies are pivotal in confirming, ruling out, diagnosing, or staging various diseases, including cancers. Following diagnosis, allocating time for discussions with the patient and providing informational resources is crucial. Diagnostic assessments of the GI tract often occur in outpatient settings like endoscopy suites or GI labs. Preparation for these tests may include dietary restrictions, fasting, liquid bowel preparations, laxatives, enemas, and the...

Blood Studies I: ABG and VBG

988
Blood studies are critical in the medical field, enabling healthcare professionals to assess a patient's health status accurately. This page will focus on two significant blood studies: Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) and Venous Blood Gas (VBG).
Arterial Blood Gas (ABG)
Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) studies are crucial for assessing the lungs' ability to supply oxygen and remove carbon dioxide, reflecting the patient's ventilation status. They also help understand the kidneys' capacity to...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Pediatrics
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Newborn screening (NBS) is a crucial public health initiative.
  • Alberta's NBS program serves Alberta, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut's Kitikmeot region.
  • The screening panel covers 21 congenital disorders.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the performance and quality improvement of Alberta's newborn screening program.
  • To assess the efficiency of screening delivery and result reporting.

Main Methods:

  • Performance analysis of the Alberta Newborn Metabolic Screening (NMS) Program and NMS Laboratory.
  • Monitoring of screening rates and timeliness for infants.

Main Results:

  • Over 99% of registered infants in Alberta received NBS.
  • More than 98% of screened infants received results within 10 days.
  • Continuous quality improvement efforts are ongoing.

Conclusions:

  • Alberta's NBS program demonstrates high performance and efficiency.
  • The program effectively screens a large majority of newborns within recommended timeframes.
