Here is some additional info on Newborn Screenings.
The Save Babies Through Screening Foundation is a national, non-profit organization whose only mission since its founding in 1998 is to raise awareness of newborn screening. The website www.savebabies.org provides information on newborn screening, identifies the disorders that can be detected, gives information on each state's newborn screening program, and advises parents and physicians how to get supplemental newborn screening when a state's program is inadequate. There are also stories of children affected by these disorders and a resource section, including viewable pamphlets that can be ordered in English or Spanish:
