Disorders Screened in Illinois
Illinois 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.
