ALD Legislature

ALD is an issue which causes severe damage to patients and families- luckily, it has recently been receiving attention from multiple foundations and researchers searching for suitable cures. Unfortunately, these solutions generally cannot reverse the damage done before treatment and as such, recognizing the early stages of ALD can be essential. However groundbreaking new legislature in Connecticut has set forth the possibility of screening newborns for ALD, allowing the prevention of the disease.

Through a public hearing, supporters of ALD prevention spread awareness and gain progress for the legislation for newborn screening.
