• Currently 49 states and the District of Columbia, representing approximately 98% of live births in the United States, screen for Trifunctional protein deficiency. 
• 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

  • TFP = Trifunctional protein deficiency
  • A seemingly healthy infant can die suddenly of what appears to be sudden infant death syndrome. Other infants may develop low muscle tone, seizures, heart failure and coma, often following an illness. Treatment is based on strict avoidance of fasting, a low-fat diet and nutritional supplements.
