What are some key findings from GWAS in Pediatric care?
Several important findings have emerged from GWAS in pediatric contexts:
1. Asthma: GWAS have identified numerous genetic loci associated with increased asthma risk in children, helping to understand the biological pathways involved. 2. Autism Spectrum Disorders: Genetic variants linked to autism have been discovered, providing insights into its complex etiology. 3. Type 1 Diabetes: Multiple genetic markers associated with Type 1 Diabetes have been identified, leading to better risk assessment and management strategies. 4. Congenital Heart Defects: GWAS have pinpointed genetic variants that contribute to congenital heart defects, aiding in early diagnosis and intervention.
