HD 3570 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act including Krabbe Disease in newborn screening

This bill amends Massachusetts law to add Krabbe Leukodystrophy and other lysosomal storage disorders to the state's mandatory newborn screening panel. It directly affects all newborns in Massachusetts by requiring these conditions to be screened for at birth. The key provision updates the existing list of screened disorders, specifically inserting the new diseases after phenylketonuria in the relevant statute. This change ensures early detection of these rare genetic conditions through standard newborn blood tests.
