Genetic disease
Hemophilia B attribute is sex chromosome inheritance, characterized by impairment of activated partial thromboplastin, prolonged coagulation time, bleeding symptoms are mild than Hemophilia A, and spontaneous bleeding can occur in severe patients without obvious trauma.
Genetic diagnosis of hemophilia is an effective and accurate method, and is currently mainly analyzed by PCR.
Deafness genetic testing is through the detection of human DNA, found whether the existence of deafness gene mutation sites. For the family has congenital deafness members or thus clear the cause, has a good preventive significance for the reoccurrence of deafness
Congenital deaf children with genetic factors can be detected early through genetic testing. Early intervention and rehabilitation measures to effectively avoid prelingual deafness, children with potential drug-induced deafness can be found, and give clear and targeted drug guidance and tips to avoid drug-induced deafness.

Case sharing
Abnormal results of tandem mass spectrometry for genetic metabolic disease in a 4-day-old baby: Phe and Phe/Tyr are both high, and different pathogenic genes correspond to different treatment plans.
Babies and their parents use “Badyhealth”newborn screening of inherited metabolic diseases by NGS: The pathogenic locus where the baby carries the PAH gene was found.
Baby diagnosis: Phenylalanine Hydroxylation Deficiency Disease.
Timely and effective treatment: The baby has a good prognosis, and the intellectual development is close to normal people.
HPA is classified into two major groups based on etiology: phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency and PAH coenzyme biotrexate (BH4) deficiency, but the two disorders are treated differently. If not early diagnosis and early treatment, will bring irreversible harm to the baby. Therefore, it is very important to find the cause of the disease timely and accurately by NGS, assist clinicians to diagnose the disease, and make the newborn receive the effective treatment in the first time.
