Regulations Governing Newborn Screening Services (amending 12VAC5-71-30) - Support the Rule Proposal
 

I support the proposed initiative to add ALD to the newborn screening panel as I have loved ones who are affected by this. This should be just as important as other newborn screenings due to the severe health risks associated with this disease. 

 

Thanks
