What are the Applications of Transcriptomics in Pediatrics?
The applications of transcriptomics in pediatrics are vast and varied. Some key areas include:
Diagnosis: Identifying biomarkers for early detection of diseases such as autism spectrum disorders and congenital heart defects. Prognosis: Predicting disease progression and patient outcomes in conditions like pediatric leukemia. Therapeutics: Developing personalized medicine approaches by understanding individual gene expression profiles, which can guide treatment decisions. Research: Exploring the molecular mechanisms underlying childhood diseases and normal development, thus opening new avenues for therapeutic interventions.
