  • Why does the state screens for max. 45 disorders whereas in some countries like Germany, Austria, India, Japan etc expanded newborn screening is available now for 100+ disorders ?

  • @pomerantzl I was born with hypothyroidism if they would not have caught it on time, i would probably be retarded.

  • This video has been a good resource for my report for newborn screening! very educational! hope it'll help me pass my NCM 101... thanks!
