    Genetic, metabolic and endocrinological diseases are the most important causes of malformations and deaths in the first months of life. The incidence of hereditary endocrinological and metabolic diseases is higher in our country and in countries like ours where consanguineous marriages are common. Early or presymptomatic detection of treatable rare diseases and early initiation of treatment significantly reduce morbidity and mortality and improve quality of life and prognosis. In many countries, metabolic and endocrinological diseases such as phenylketonuria, biotinidase enzyme deficiency, galactosemia, homocystinuria, maple syrup urine disease, congenital adrenal hyperplasia and congenital hypothyroidism are screened. In addition, sickle cell anaemia, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, severe combined immunodeficiencies, immunological diseases, cardiovascular diseases, cystic fibrosis and congenital hearing loss are also screened. Newborn screening tests are not diagnostic. Additional tests are required to confirm or exclude a suspected diagnosis. Screening programmes are expanded according to the development of countries and the prevalence of diseases. In some countries, some incurable diseases are included in the extended newborn screening programme for early diagnosis and planning of subsequent pregnancies. Screening is performed by different methods such as calorimetric method, MS/MS (tandem mass spectrometry) and genetic screening. In our country, phenylketonuria, congenital hypothyroidism, biotinidase deficiency, cystic fibrosis, congenital adrenal hyperplasia and spinal muscular atrophy are screened in all newborns within the scope of the national newborn screening programme.
