Currently all states in the United States screen for Medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase.

In the United States, screening for the 31 core newborn screening conditions is not universally required by rule or law and fully implemented in any state.

Footnotes

For more information on the core disorders, see the August 2004 report Newborn Screening: Toward a Uniform Screening Panel and Systems, developed by the American College of Medical Genetics and Evidence Review report on SCID, prepared by the Advisory Committee on heritable Disorders in Newborns and Children.

For more detailed information on newborn screening status, please see the National Newborn Screening Status Report developed by the National Newborn Screening and Genetics Resource Center.

Seemingly well infants and children can suddenly develop seizures (caused by low blood sugar), liver failure, coma, and death. Identifying affected children before they become ill is vital to preventing a crisis and averting these consequences. Treatment includes avoidance of fasting and nutritional supplements.
