HERDON, Va., April 29, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A pressing need for a comprehensive approach to newborn screening (NBS) has prompted advocacy for a collaborative effort between the United States and India. With a recent report (1) finding that delayed diagnosis in rare disease can yield costs ranging from $86,000 to $500,000 per year, coupled with the fact that NBS can be the gateway to early diagnosis and improved outcomes for rare diseases, (2) experts suggest that an alliance between the two nations could pioneer advancements in global health. Dr. Harsha Rajasimha, the Founder of the Indo US Organization for Rare Diseases (IndoUSrare) explains the urgent need for better NBS in both the US and India, "Cross-border collaborations between the US and India is good for all patients with rare diseases globally. The early identification of patients with rare diseases, creation of patient registries, and databases, in India and other countries is an urgent need and pre-requisite to engage the rest of the world in research and global clinical trials."

Key Points: 
  • Most patients with rare diseases remain undiagnosed and unidentified for a long time, especially, in LMICs where newborn screening isn't mandated yet.
  • Newborn screening programs only screen for a small number of metabolic diseases relative to the 10,000+ rare diseases that are known today.
  • Identification of newborn babies with rare diseases can significantly boost the number of new patients identified with rare diseases.
  • The U.S. and India need to lead by example in the fight against rare diseases by advancing expanded NBS.
