An Act relative to LSDs (Lysosomal Storage Disorders) in infants

This bill amends a Massachusetts law to expand newborn screening for rare genetic disorders. It adds six specific Lysosomal Storage Disorders (LSDs) - Krabbe, Fabry, Gaucher, Pompe, MPS I, and Niemann Pick A/B - to the existing list of conditions screened for at birth. The change directly affects infants in Massachusetts by requiring healthcare providers to test for these additional disorders during routine newborn screening. This policy update ensures more comprehensive early detection for these rare, serious conditions.
