National Newborn Screening and Genetics Resource Center (NNSGRC)

The National Newborn Screening and Genetics Resource Center (NNSGRC) is a program that supports and improves newborn screening systems across the United States. It provides information, training, and resources to healthcare providers to ensure newborns are tested for certain genetic and metabolic conditions shortly after birth. Early detection through screening helps identify and treat disorders that might not be immediately obvious but could cause serious health problems if left untreated. Overall, NNSGRC aims to promote healthy outcomes for all babies by ensuring effective screening practices and access to necessary follow-up care.
