What does the following situation under newborn disease screening mean?

Patient's question:

Newborn disease screening results, please help the doctor interpret this, thank you very much! TSHPKUCAHG6PD negative negative negative This CAH is not reflected or proven, what does this mean?

Doctor's answer:

This is a screening for 4 diseases. Hypothyroidism and phenylketonuria are definitely not an issue. The third negative result is unclear whether it is for Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) or G6PD deficiency. CAH refers to the screening for Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia. There should not be a lack of results. You can consult the hospital where the child was born or call the screening department for more information. If the result is positive, the hospital will contact you and recommend a retest.
