Newborn Screening (NBS) began in early 1960's by a pioneering work of Dr. Robert Guthrie, USA with discovery of detecting Phenylketonuria (PKU) from dried blood spots (DBS) on filter paper, by a simple test as bacterial inhibition assay (Guthrie, 1961). His research work led to the now well-known 'Guthrie' card procedure/ test which is nothing but blood absorbed from the baby's heel prick onto the special thick filter paper to screen PKU in the newborn.
