Bill Summary
For legislation relative to LSDs (Lysosomal Storage Disorders) in infants. Public Health.
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 110A of Chapter 111 of the General Laws to include several additional lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) in the list of conditions for which newborn screening is required. Specifically, it adds Krabbe, Fabry, Gaucher, Pompe, MPS I, and Niemann Pick A/B diseases to the existing list, which previously included only cretinism. This expansion of newborn screening for LSDs aims to identify these genetic disorders early in infants, allowing for prompt medical intervention and treatment.
