The Newborn Screening Panel can detect over 60 serious but treatable medical conditions in babies. For more information on the disorders that can be detected with a bloodspot test, explore the list below.
Please note: Disorders with stars (*) are core RUSP conditions or are legislatively mandated. All other conditions may be detected when screening for a core condition.
Core conditions are the conditions that newborn screening is specifically designed to identify. A "core condition" is added to the newborn screening panel if:
1. There is a specific and sensitive test available to detect it.
2. The health outcomes of the condition are well understood.
3. There is an available and effective treatment.
To learn more about core and secondary conditions, please visit the HRSA Newborn Screening website.
