If you or someone you know is pregnant, find out how many diseases are included in your state's Newborn
Screening Program by visiting our State Information page.
Ensure your baby has the best chance at a healthy start to life through Supplemental Newborn Screening.
No state includes all 56 recommended potentially fatal, but treatable, diseases in it's Newborn Screening Program. Currently, New York is the only state that screens newborns for Krabbe Disease.
With one simple heel prick, your child can be screened for over 60 diseases at birth through Supplemental Newborn Screening, no matter where they are born!
As of October 3, 2011, PerkinElmer Genetics is offering screening for six Lysosomal Storage Disorders (LSD) - Krabbe, Fabry, Gaucher, Pompe, Hurler Syndrome and Niemann-Pick A/B.

Lysosomal Storage Disorder screening is available as stand-alone testing in the Lysosomal Storage Disorders (LSD Only Packet) or included with StepOne® / LSD Newborn Screening Packet. You can also get the StepOne® Packet without the LSDs. The StepOne® Packet includes over 60 diseases.
PerkinElmer Genetics, Inc. is providing these three Packets to Hunter's Hope at a significantly reduced cost, which we are able to pass on to you. The Lysosomal Storage Disorders (LSD Only) for $50, the StepOne®
/ LSD Newborn Screening Packet for $100, and the StepOne® without the LSDs Packet for $55.

Newborn Screening.
