Disorders Screened in Arizona
Arizona does NOT provide the
full panel of screenings recommended by Save Babies Through Screening Foundation.
Parents should seek
supplemental screening for the disorders and conditions not included in the state's panel.
The disorders that are screened, or likely to be detected, by your state's
program are identified by the
National Newborn Screening and Genetics Resource Center in simplified
format or in
PDF format.
