Florida Newborn Screening Program - Disorders

Disorders:

The disorder list was based upon proposals from both the 2002 Infant Screening Task Force, the American College of Medical Genetics, and the Advisory Committee on Heritable Disorders in Newborns and Children.

The ACMG developed an ACTion (ACT) sheet that describes the short term actions a health professional should follow in communicating with the family and determining the appropriate steps in the follow-up of the infant that has screened positive, and 2) an algorithm that presents an overview of the basic steps involved in determining the final diagnosis in the infant. These sheets can be found on the ACMG website-NEWBORN SCREENING ACT SHEETS AND CONFIRMATORY ALGORITHMS.

The Department of Health currently screens all babies born in Florida for the following disorders (all links open in new windows):
