Fact Sheets

The Newborn Screening Program has written informational family fact sheets about some of the disorders found by newborn screening. It is important to keep in mind that a baby who has a positive newborn screen needs more testing before we know for sure if the baby has a problem.

Medical fact sheets are meant to provide health care providers with recommended short-term actions as well as some basic information about the disorder.
