Abstract

Early diagnosis allows option of prenatal diagnosis in subsequent pregnanciesEditor-Like Wald and Morris, we do not advocate neonatal screening for cystic fibrosis, although the situation is not as simple as they seem to suggest.The benefits of screening are not limited to early treatment of affected children; early diagnosis allows parents to have the options of prenatal diagnosis in subsequent pregnancies, although only a minority of carrier couples can be detected in this way.
