What Are the Future Directions of GWAS in Pediatrics?
The future of GWAS in pediatrics looks promising with advances in technology and data analysis. Future directions include: - Integration with Other Omics: Combining GWAS with other omics data (e.g., proteomics, metabolomics) for a comprehensive understanding. - Functional Studies: Investigating the biological mechanisms behind identified genetic variants. - Longitudinal Studies: Following children over time to observe how genetic variants influence the development and progression of diseases.
