The Colorado Newborn Bloodspot Screening Program (CONBSP) improves newborn’s lives through early detection of 39 life-threatening genetic disorders for all Colorado and Wyoming newborns. The program is a part of the Colorado State Public Health Laboratory within the Division of Disease Control and Public Health Response (DCPHR) at CDPHE. The CONBSP is required by statute to operate 6 days a week including holidays in order to ensure timely reporting of abnormal results. Annually, there are approximately 68,000 births in Colorado and Wyoming. Currently, there are requests that come from over 800 unique submitters. This translates into reporting more than 130,000 samples using 9 different testing methods for more than 700,000 individual tests annually. Babies with these conditions often appear normal at birth but could develop signs and symptoms later in life. There are 700 affected children identified each year due to this testing in Colorado, making it one of the most successful public health campaigns in terms of both cost and prevention. For more information please visit CONBSP’s website or contact us at 303-692-3675.
