Diseases and Conditions Identified in Children
The list of health conditions found on this page is not an exhaustive list of health conditions that may impact the lives of children in Minnesota. The health conditions included here are either identified birth defects tracked by CYSHN activities or are conditions diagnosed as part of the Minnesota Newborn Screening Program. You will find basic information about these various health conditions including a general description of the condition and how to find more information and resources. If the health condition you are looking for is not included here, it may be found on the A-Z Listing of Diseases & Conditions
