Is there any deficiency in newborn disease screening work?

Patient's question:

Doctors in the hospital, my child had a baby disease screening, but the gender was wrong on the result slip, the hospital changed the girl to a boy. Does this affect the test results? I would like to ask about the shortcomings in the baby disease screening process?

Doctor's answer:

Screening for infant diseases is conducted through advanced laboratory tests to detect every infant. It identifies serious genetic and metabolic diseases to enable early diagnosis and early treatment, preventing potential brain, liver, and kidney damage in children. This can prevent intellectual disability, physical development issues, and even death. Based on your situation, if it is just a gender error, it will not affect the test results. Yes, but you need to check if the test results are incorrect.
