As the only center of referral for Newborn Screening Program in West Virginia, WVU Medicine Children’s is notified by the state laboratory for newborn screening of all abnormal cases.
Newborn Screening is performed at the West Virginia state lab.
Our team reviews those cases, provides interpretation and recommendations to primary care providers.
We also follow up on results, clear cases that are considered a false positive and arrange appointments for complex cases or confirmed true positive cases.
