South Carolina Screens for Two New Genetic Disorders

South Carolina is revolutionizing newborn care by adding Hunter Syndrome and Fabry Disease to its newborn screening panel—now testing for 60 conditions total. These hidden genetic disorders, which can cause devastating organ damage, heart issues, and strokes if undetected, will be caught earlier thanks to a new electronic reporting system powered by biotech partner Revvity. Starting early next year, this upgrade aims to slash errors—like the 5% of last year’s samples with missing data—and ensure every one of South Carolina’s 60,000 annual births gets the best possible start.
