What Are Some Examples of Personalized Medicine in Practice for Neonatal Disorders?
Examples include the use of pharmacogenomics to guide the administration of medications. For instance, variations in the CYP2D6 gene can affect how a newborn metabolizes certain drugs, necessitating dosage adjustments. Another example is the implementation of newborn screening programs that incorporate genetic testing to identify and manage conditions like cystic fibrosis and phenylketonuria early on.
