Can anyone tell me which disorders are tested in MA on newborn screening? Does the State do expanded screening, or just the "biggies" such as PKU, T4. If expanded screening is done, do you know when it was initiated (year)? Thanks!

MA automatically does all the screenings unless the parents decline it.
