(CAH) (>1 in 25,000) A group of inherited disorders resulting from deficiencies of hormones produced by the adrenal gland Severe forms of CAH, if undetected and untreated, cause life-threatening salt loss via urine Treatment includes hormone replacement Galactosemia (>1 in 50,000) Lack of the liver enzyme needed to convert galactose, a major sugar in milk, into glucose (blood sugar) Galactose then accumulates in and damages vital organs, leading to blindness, severe mental retardation, infection, and death Milk and other diary products must be eliminated from the baby’s diet for life This greatly improves the outlook for affected infants, but risk of mild developmental delays remains Hearing impairment (>1 in 5,000) Among the most common abnormalities present at birth Without early testing, most babies with hearing loss are not diagnosed until age two or three By then, they often have delayed speech and language development Early diagnosis allows use of hearing aids by six months, helping prevent serious speech and language problems Cystic fibrosis (>1 in 5,000) A common inherited disorder, resulting in lung and digestive problems, and death by age 35, on average Early diagnosis and treatment may improve the growth of babies and children with CF *The symbols < and > denote “less than” and “greater than”, respectively Terms are ordered in accordance with the table on
