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 in Massachusetts to add several Lysosomal Storage Disorders (LSDs) - Krabbe, Fabry, Gaucher, Pompe, MPS I, and Niemann Pick A/B disease - to the list of conditions that must be included in the newborn screening program. LSDs are a group of rare genetic disorders that affect the body's ability to break down and recycle specific substances, leading to a buildup that can cause severe health problems. The addition of these LSD conditions to the mandatory newborn screening will help ensure early detection and prompt treatment to improve health outcomes for affected infants.
