I raised with the Prime Minister, the importance of early diagnosis and treatment for conditions such as 22q11 Syndrome.‬
‪This condition, which is second most common chromosomal disorder after Down’s Syndrome, is the most common genetic disorder you’ve never heard of.‬
‪We await the result of the National Screening Committee who is currently looking at the validity of adding this condition to the newborn blood-spot test.
UPDATE (30 Mar 2019):
On 29 Mar 2019, we were informed that 22q11DS has indeed passed the first phase of approval for screening by the NSC. Further, more detailed assessment is ongoing.
