Newborn Screening in Japan

Dear Colleagues,

The Japanese Society for Neonatal Screening has made the International Journal of Neonatal Screening its official journal. We would like to thank everyone who made this possible.

We take this opportunity to announce the "Topical Collection" with the theme of newborn screening in Japan. This collection will include reviews on the current status and progress of newborn screening in Japan, as well as the latest original research on newborn screening. We would like this Topical Collection to stimulate intellectual curiosity in our readers. In the future, the Japanese Society for Neonatal Screening will disseminate information through the International Journal of Neonatal Screening and promote wide-ranging communication with everyone involved in newborn screening around the world.
