Article Synopsis
- Each year, 1 in 294 newborns is identified with a condition through newborn screening (NBS), which can lead to early treatment and potentially life-saving interventions.
- Advances in genomic technologies are expected to broaden the scope of NBS, but the process of expanding screening occurs slowly and inconsistently across the US.
- The NBS Expansion Study analyzed current NBS practices and identified four main factors that complicate expansion, averaging a 9.5-year delay for nationwide adoption of new conditions.
