Congratulations to Mei Baker, MD, FACMG, Wynne Mateffy Professor and director of the Wisconsin Newborn Screening Laboratory, and Roberto Mendez, PhD, assistant professor and assistant director of the Wisconsin Newborn Screening Laboratory, who were awarded $890,000 from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Their two-year project “Implementing Newborn Screening for X-linked Adrenoleukodystrophy and Streamlining Two-tier Testing Algorithm in Tandem Mass Spectrometry” will increase the Wisconsin Newborn Screening Laboratory’s capacity and capability to add the genetic disorder X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) to the state’s mandatory newborn screening panel. X-ALD, caused by mutations in ABCD1, can result in severe childhood cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy (CCALD). For such disorders, early detection and subsequent treatment are key for better patient outcomes.
