Add SCID to newborn screening tests to save lives!
 

Please add SCID to newborn screening tests.  Our family lost a beautiful boy at 5 months of age to SCIDs. The heartache and devestation that this causes is insurmountaable and even more so knowing that it could have been detected and prevented.  Please add SCID to newborn screening tests so that childrens' lives can be saved.
