Newborn Screening - List of Disorders
All infants born in Michigan are screened for 50+ disorders and hearing. Shown below are the disorders included on the screening panel. (Fact sheets are available for some disorders.)
*Disorders labeled with one asterisk were added to the NBS panel in 2005 using the tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) platform.
**Over 1800 mutations have been identified in the gene associated with Cystic Fibrosis, the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Regulator (CFTR) gene. Most newborn screening programs only screen for the most common disease causing CFTR gene mutations.
The Newborn Screening Program is working to expand the 2nd-tier CFTR mutation panel to include 139 total mutations. This expansion is anticipated to go live on February 3rd, 2025. Provided is a list of CFTR mutations that will be included on this revised panel.
