(F) Short chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (SCAD);
(G) Glutaric acidemia Type II (GA2);
(H) Carnitine palmitoyl transferase deficiency, Types I and II (CPT I and CPT II); and
(I) Carnitine acylcarnitine translocase deficiency.

(c)

Amino acid disorders. Method: Quantitative measurement of amino acids by tandem mass spectrometry.
(A) Argininosuccinate lyase deficiency (e.g. Arginosuccinic aciduria or ASA);
(B) Citrullinemia, Type I (CIT);
(C) Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD);
(D) Homocystinuria (HCY);
(E) Phenylketonuria (PKU);
(F) Tyrosinemia, Types I, II, and III; and
(G) Arginase deficiency (ARG).
(4) Endocrine disorders:
(a) Primary congenital hypothyroidism (CH). Method: Fluorescent immunoassay of thyroxine (T4) with secondary assay of thyroid stimulating hormone (thyrotropin or TSH).
(b) Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). Method: Fluorescent immunoassay of 17-alpha hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP).
(5) Cystic fibrosis. Method: Primary screening by fluorescent immunoassay for the presence or absence of immunoreactive trypsinogen with second tier PCR testing for common cystic fibrosis genotypes.

(6)

Biotinidase deficiency. Method: Colorimetric or fluorometric assay for biotinidase activity or fluorescent immunoassay.
(7) Classic Galactosemia. Method: Fluorescent immunoassay for the presence or absence of detectable galactose uridyl transferase in erythrocytes and galactose levels.
(8) Sickle cell anemia. Method: Primary screening for sickling hemoglobin by isoelectric focusing and confirmation by high performance liquid chromatography to detect hemoglobin variants.
(9) Severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID). Method: PCR to detect the absence or presence of T-cell receptor excision circles.
(10) Lysosomal storage diseases. Method: Measurement of the activity of lysosomal storage enzymes by quantitative fluorometric enzymatic activity assay or tandem mass spectrometry with second tier testing by tandem mass spectrometry, PCR, enzymatic assay or DNA sequencing.
(a) Pompe (glycogen storage disease Type II);
(b) Mucopolysaccharidosis Type I (MPS I);
(c) Fabry (alphagalactosidase A deficiency); and
(d) Gaucher (glucocerebrosidase deficiency).
(11) Newborn screening results may identify medical conditions, commonly referred to as “secondary conditions”, that are not listed above. Any secondary condition that is identified during screening will be included in a result report as described in OAR 333-024-1080 (Newborn Screening: Result Reporting and Follow-up). It is within the discretion of an infant’s health care provider and parents or legal guardians to determine what if any medical follow-up is needed for a secondary condition that is identified.
