    Notes: Abstract Screening of newborn infants for genetic disease began over 35 years ago as a public health measure to prevent mental retardation in phenylketonuria (PKU). It was so successful that tests for several other genetic disorders were added. We review the current status of this screening, including discussions of the genetic disorders often covered and the results of newborn screening for them. We emphasize recent advances. These include expansion of coverage for genetic disorders with the new methodology of tandem mass spectrometry (MS-MS) and the introduction of molecular (DNA) testing to increase the specificity of testing for several disorders, thereby reducing false-positive rates. These and other advances have also produced issues of criteria for screening, missed cases, and appropriate use of stored newborn specimens.

    Notes: Abstract Treatment of maternal phenylketonuria (PKU) consists of a low phenylalanine diet, begun before conception, which is believed to prevent mental retardation, microcephaly, and congenital heart disease in offspring of women with PKU. Experiences in treating these women indicate that their cooperation with medical recommendations is generally poor. We present a psychosocial model on adjustment and coping in maternal PKU. The proposed model defines four stages in the reproductive years of women with PKU, each of which has specific behavioral goals. The four stages are: (1) prevention of unplanned pregnancies; (2) reproductive decision-making; (3) diet initiation; and (4) diet continuation through pregnancy. Review of the literature on the different behaviors expected at the different stages enabled indentification of psychosocial factors that may explain success or failure in achieving the goals at each stage. Based on this theoretical framework, practical implications for treating women with PKU have been suggested.
