How are advancements in genetics impacting pediatric care?
The field of genetics has made significant strides, particularly in understanding and diagnosing genetic disorders. Advances in genome sequencing have enabled early diagnosis of conditions such as cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, and various metabolic disorders. This early detection allows for timely interventions and better management of these conditions. Furthermore, research into gene therapy holds promise for treating previously incurable genetic disorders, offering new hope for affected children and their families.
