What conditions does the newly expanded screening program cover?
A. Newborns are now screened for the following 27 disorders: Six amino acid disorders: argininosuccinic academia (ASA), citrullinemia (CIT), homocystinuria (HCY), maple syrup urine disease (MSUD), phenylketonuria (PKU) and tyrosinemia type I (TYR-I); Two endocrine disorders: congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) and congenital hypothyroidism (CH); Five fatty acid oxidation disorders: medium chain acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase deficiency (MCAD), carnitine uptake defect (CUD), long-chain L-3- hydroxyacyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase deficiency (LCHAD), trifunctional protein deficiency (TFP) and very long-chain acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase deficiency (VLCAD); Three hemoglobinopathies: sickle cell anemia (Hb S/S), sickle beta thalassemia (Hb S/A), and sickle-hemoglobin C disease (Hb S/C); Nine organic acid disorders: 3-methylcrotonyl-coenzyme A carboxylase deficiency (3-MCC), beta-ketothiolase deficiency (BKT), glutaric acidemia type I (GA-I), 3-hydroxy 3-methylglutaric aciduria (HMG), isovale
