[*] Principles of Screening
American College of Medical Genetics.
The screening program should have a clearly defined purpose
Distinctions must be made between carrier screening, screening for predisposition to disease, screening for presymptomatic disease, and screening for those affected with disease
Newborn screening is a special case
There should be a defined population for screening
it must be clear whether the purpose is a research or medical care
Screening for clinical purposes preferably should be tied to the availability of intervention
A screening program is more than a laboratory test
