How Does NGS Support Personalized Medicine in Pediatrics?
Personalized medicine, also known as precision medicine, refers to tailoring medical treatment to the individual characteristics of each patient. NGS supports personalized medicine by providing detailed information about a patient's genetic profile. This information can help healthcare providers choose the most effective treatments and avoid medications that may cause adverse reactions. For example, in cancer treatment, NGS can identify specific genetic mutations driving the cancer, allowing for targeted therapies that are more likely to be effective.
