Epigenomic profiling has multiple applications in pediatric medicine:
Diagnosis: Identifying specific epigenetic changes can aid in early diagnosis of conditions like congenital disorders and neonatal diseases. Prognosis: Epigenetic markers can help in predicting disease progression, particularly in pediatric cancers like leukemia. Personalized Medicine: Understanding a child’s epigenome can lead to more personalized treatment plans. Preventive Medicine: Early detection of epigenetic changes can help in taking preventive measures against diseases that may develop later in life.
