What are the Implications of Identifying Genomic Variations in Neonates?
Identifying genomic variations in neonates has several important implications:
Early Diagnosis and Intervention: Early identification of genomic variations can lead to prompt diagnosis and treatment of neonatal disorders, potentially improving outcomes. Personalized Medicine: Understanding the specific genetic makeup of a neonate can lead to tailored treatments, increasing the efficacy and reducing side effects. Family Planning: Knowledge of genetic risks can inform family planning decisions for parents.
