Despite the potential benefits, there are several challenges in integrating omics technologies into pediatric practice:
Ethical Considerations: Issues surrounding consent, privacy, and the potential psychological impact of genetic information on children and their families. Data Interpretation: The complexity of omics data requires sophisticated analytical tools and expertise, which can be a barrier in clinical settings. Cost: High costs associated with omics technologies may limit their widespread adoption. Integration with Clinical Practice: Incorporating omics data into everyday clinical practice requires significant changes in healthcare infrastructure and training.
