Abstract | This monograph, designed for persons involved in the organization and regulation of screening of newborns infants for Phenylketonuria (PKU) and other genetic-metabolic diseases reviews new developments in the field, makes recommendations, and provides information about specific conditions other than PKU that are detectable by screening. Discussed briefly in Part I are various aspects of screening for PKU, ethical and legal issues and screening for other conditions. Part II suggests a model for supervising screening operations for any disorder (from determining what conditions should be screened for, through implementation to evaluation); discusses laboratory responsibilities and offers specific recommendations regarding PKU screening. Part III lists conditions that can be screened for with four different procedures. (SB) |
