But state and national efforts are under way to change this pattern. In May, Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), included SCID in a panel of 30 genetic disorders for which the department recommends states screen all infants at birth. The recommendation may prompt more states to join Wisconsin, Massachusetts, and California in screening newborns for the disorder. Wisconsin's screening program, which began in 2008, has identified a child with SCID and several others with related immune deficiencies.
