Disorders Screened in Iowa
Iowa 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.
