Abstract
The article explores the benefits and challenges associated with the adoption of newborn screening in the U.S. Based on the assessment of scientific and medical information by experts, such practice has led to increased uniformity of screening. The Advisory Committee on Heritable Disorders in Newborns and Children (ACHDNC) has recommended the inclusion of severe combined immunodeficiency and critical congenital heart disease in newborn screening.
