Are there any shortcomings in newborn disease screening work?

Patient's question:

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

Doctor's answer:

Screening for infant diseases is conducted through advanced laboratory tests to detect every infant, identifying serious genetic and metabolic diseases for early diagnosis and early treatment, in order to prevent damage to the brain, liver, and kidneys in children, which can lead to intellectual disability, physical development issues, or 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.
