What Are the Clinical Implications of Epigenetics in Pediatrics?
Understanding epigenetic changes can help in early diagnosis and intervention for various conditions. For instance, identifying epigenetic markers associated with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can aid in early detection and tailored interventions. Moreover, epigenetic therapies are emerging, aiming to reverse harmful epigenetic changes through diet, lifestyle modifications, and pharmaceuticals.
