Colorado’s Newborn Screening Panel

New disorders are coming soon to Colorado’s newborn screening panel!

On March 20, 2024, the Colorado Board of Health approved the addition of two disorders to the Colorado newborn screening panel for population screening:
 

  • Guanidinoacetate Methyltransferase (GAMT) Deficiency
  • Mucopolysaccharidosis Type II (MPS II)
     

Additionally, the Board approved targeted screening for congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) infection. 

 

The rules will go into effect May 15, 2024. Screening for these conditions will begin once instrument procurement and validation testing are completed, and contacts are established for follow-up services. Continue to check back for updates.


Newborn Screening: New Conditions Stakeholder Input 2024/2025

The Colorado Newborn Screening Program is seeking feedback from Colorado residents, stakeholders, and interested parties regarding the appropriateness of adding new conditions to our screening panel.  If this is of interest to you, we encourage you to share your input through the survey.


Transition to E-Reports

CONBSP will no longer send out physical mailers or fax the daily reports for the newborn screen to any health facilities. The only exception is mailing abnormal reports. Reports can still be requested by phone or fax by submitting a completed results request form. Prior to calling or faxing, check E-portal. If the report is unavailable, contact the birthing facility.

Sign up for an E-report account to access the portal to obtain newborn screen reports.
