General Information
Indiana screens for 50 of the 54 disorders and conditions recommended for screening by the Save Babies Through Screening Foundation. Cystic fibrosis screening was the most recent addition to Indiana's panel, beginning in the fall of 2007.
Approximately 88,000 babies were born in Indiana in 2004.
Indiana began screening using tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) in September, 2002, choosing to implement the new technology in
stages, beginning with MCADD. They also began using MS/MS to test for PKU, MSUD, and Homocystinuria, disorders which had
been screened using other test methods before this time. Another 22 disorders were added to the MS/MS screening in January,
2003.
Bill 1487, which legislates expanded screening for more disorders
using tandem
mass spectrometry (MS/MS), passed the public health committee in the house in January, 2001.
Indiana included
Biotinidase Deficiency and
Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) screening in the Fall of 2000.
