Filed as: South Dakota Department of Health - Newborn Screening
South Dakota will add three new genetic and muscle disorders to the conditions that hospitals must screen for in all newborns: Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Mucopolysaccharidosis Type I, and Mucopolysaccharidosis Type II. Designated newborn screening laboratories will now test infants for these three conditions in addition to the eleven disorders currently required, bringing the total list to fourteen required screening tests. These additions follow review and approval by the state's newborn screening committees and will help identify affected infants early so they can receive treatment and medical care sooner.
