Newborn Screening - State Information

 Hunter’s Hope Advocates for Expanded & Universal
Newborn Screening

This means we advocate for every state to screen for the maximum number of diseases possible and that all states screen universally for the same diseases. Otherwise, a child's chance for a healthy life depends on the state they are born in.

Krabbe and other LSDs

These disorders can be cost-effectively screened together. These disorders must be diagnosed early to save children's lives.
Therefore, it is critical they be screened for at birth.

 In addition to the Lysosomal disorders noted above, we advocate screening for the 55 disorders on the American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) and the Secretary Advisory Committee on Heritable Disorders in Infants and Newborns recommended minimum screening panel.
