Ohio
Ohio 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.

Effective August 30, 2006, Ohio screens all newborns for Carnitine Uptake Defect (CUD) and Cystic Fibrosis (CF).
On August 16, 2004, Ohio began screening all newborns for 30 disorders. Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) was added to the Ohio newborn screening panel in June, 2003.
The Ohio newborn screening program provides overnight courier service of the blood specimen, six days a week, from all birthing facilities within the state to the laboratory.
