# List of disorders included in newborn screening programs

This short description is INTENTIONALLY "none" &#x2D; please see WP:SDNONE before you consider changing it! This is a list of disorders included in newborn screening programs around the world, along with information on testing methodologies, disease incidence and rationale for being included in screening programs.

## American College of Medical Genetics recommendations
### Core panel

The following conditions and disorders were recommended as a "core panel" by the 2005 report of the American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG). The incidences reported below are from the full report, though the rates may vary in different populations.

### Secondary targets

The following disorders are additional conditions that may be detected by screening. Many are listed as "secondary targets" by the 2005 ACMG report. Some states are now screening for more than 50 congenital conditions. Many of these are rare and unfamiliar to pediatricians and other primary health care professionals.

* Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD)
Inborn errors of amino acid metabolism

* Maternal vitamin B12 deficiency

### Disorders added after the initial panel was defined

In addition to identifying a core list of disorders that infants in the United States should be screened for, the ACMG also established a framework for nominating future conditions, and the structure under which those conditions should be considered.
* Severe combined immune deficiency (SCID) - added in 2009
* Critical congenital heart defects (Screened using pulse oximetry) - added in 2010
* Pompe disease - added in 2013
* Mucopolysaccharidosis type I - added in 2015
* X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy - added in 2018
* Spinal muscular atrophy - added in 2018
