Colorado Begins Expanded Newborn Screening On July 1, 2006, the mandatory Colorado newborn screening program, which had previously only tested for seven metabolic diseases, expanded to include testing for 23 additional metabolic diseases. The state newborn screening program’s panel of conditions is now comparable to that offered by the UCHSC Biochemical Genetics Laboratory's Expanded Newborn Screening Program. Please be aware that information printed in our program’s old brochures, comparing the UCHSC Biochemical Genetics Laboratory's Expanded Newborn Screening to the Colorado state newborn screening, is now obsolete.
