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 …
