AB This  is  a  population-based  system  for  the  identification  and  early  treatment  of  potentially  devastating  medical  conditions.  In  the  United  States,  this  screening  is  mandated  in  every  state,  but  the  disorders  included  in  the  screening  panels  vary.  A  list  of  the  screening  tests  provided  by  each  state  can  be  found  on  the  National  Newborn  Screening  and  Genetics  Resource  Center  website  at  http://genes-r-us.uthscsa.edu.  An  expert  panel  commissioned  by  the  American  College  of  Medical  Genetics  (ACMG)  has  recommended  29  conditions  on  newborn  screening  panels  (Table  15–1).  This  chapter  addresses  selected  disorders  included  in  most  state  newborn  screen  panels,  as  well  as  special  considerations  related  to  discharge  planning  and  follow-up.  The  American  Academy  of  Pediatrics  (AAP)  has  published  newborn  screening  FACT  sheets  that  address  appropriate  testing  methods,  follow-up,  and  diagnostic  testing  for  all  29  disorders  recommended  by  the  ACMG.
