说明

This NOFO will increase the capacity and capability of state and territorial newborn screening laboratories to test for newborn screening conditions as recommended by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Advisory Committee on Heritable Disorders in Newborns and Children (HHS ACHDNC), and those that might be added to state panels by state-level advisory committees or state legislatures. As of December 2019, 46% of states and territories still do not include any of the recent HHS ACHDNC-recommended conditions—Pompe Disease, Mucopolysaccharidosis Type 1, X-linked Adrenoleukodystrophy, and Spinal Muscular Atrophy—on their newborn screening panels. Early detection of these conditions, whose symptoms are not clinically observable at birth, save thousands of infants and children from disability and death through early detection and treatment. Advanced biochemical and molecular technologies improve disease detection for newborns, and newborn screening programs must provide accurate interpretation of complex biomarker profiles, develop analytic and interpretive tools for genetic testing, and manage complex data systems. Harmonization brings together data in different formats and naming conventions and transforms them into a cohesive data set and there is a need for harmonization of results across laboratories and testing platforms to aid in biomarker interpretation.
