a

Delayed diagnosis were cases not detected by newborn screening

b

An unknown case had an initial specimen submitted for newborn screening that was deemed unsatisfactory by the laboratory; the case was detected on a subsequent screening specimen, but because of the initial unsatisfactory specimen, it is unknown whether the case would have been detected on the first screen.

c

Percent indicates the proportion of the total (i.e., percent of 99 cases for the one-screen states and percent of 275 cases for the two-screen states)
