Probably, Use Google: & check: http://www.newbornscreening.info/Parents/aminoaciddisorders/MSUD.html & http://www.babysfirsttest.org/newborn-screening/conditions/maple-syrup-urine-disease-msud, which reports that this is currently screened for in the state of Utah. However, to be certain, ideally check your child's newborn hospital examination records. Also see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maple_syrup_urine_disease.
