AI Summary
This bill amends Section 110A of Chapter 111 of the General Laws to add several Lysosomal Storage Disorders (LSDs) to the list of conditions that require newborn screening tests, including Krabbe, Fabry, Gaucher, Pompe, MPS I, and Niemann Pick A/B diseases. LSDs are a group of rare genetic disorders that result from deficiencies in specific enzymes, leading to the buildup of certain substances in the body's cells. Requiring newborn screening for these conditions can help identify and treat them early, improving health outcomes for affected infants.
