Summary
ScreenPlus is a large pilot program that offers families the option to have their newborn screened for a panel of rare genetic disorders, in addition to standard newborn screening. The study aims to screen 100,000 infants born at eight hospitals in New York. Researchers will evaluate the accuracy of the screening tests and study the impact of early diagnosis on health outcomes.
