Abstract
As a result of the current trend toward mandatory legislation providing for testing of all newborns for phenylketonuria, questions have arisen concerning various problems involving testing programs. We have had numerous inquiries about our program and feel that it might be helpful to show some of our experiences.
We began a pilot program in July, 1960, which involved ferric chloride testing of urinesoaked filter papers returned to our laboratory. Mothers of all live-born infants in two hospitals in Oregon were given instructions to return urine-impregnated filter papers in a return envelope to us when the baby was 4 weeks old.
