Over 2 years, NBS in Arizona confirmed an incidence more than 2.5 times that reported nationally. This increased incidence is likely reflective of Arizona's unique population profile, with a higher percentage of Native American population. The findings in our non-SCID cohort are in alignment with previously published data, except for an increased percentage of infants of Hispanic/Latino ethnicity, possibly reflecting Arizona's increased percentage of Hispanic/Latino population compared to the general US population.
