Abstract

Newborn screening (NBS) is a multi-component, multi-stakeholder system that begins with prenatal education, neonatal screening in birthing hospitals and state-based NBS laboratories, diagnosis and clinical care, and longitudinal medical management. All components of this system are necessary to ensure newborns with genetic conditions achieve the best possible outcome. The majority of the 12,500 newborns diagnosed each year with a genetic condition through NBS require lifelong care and management.
