New England Newborn Screening
The New England Newborn Screening Program, established in 1962 in Massachusetts, is dedicated to the early detection and prevention of treatable disorders in newborns. Over the years, the program has expanded its screening capabilities and has become a global standard of care, helping doctors identify and treat disorders that may not be apparent at birth but can have severe consequences later on.
In January 2018, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, in collaboration with the New England Newborn Screening Program, initiated a voluntary pilot screening study for SMA, X-ALD, MPS-I, and Pompe Disease. Led by Deputy Director Anne Marie Comeau, Ph.D., the program aims to further enhance newborn screening practices and contribute to the overall well-being of newborns in the region.
