Understanding modifier genes is crucial for several reasons:
Personalized Medicine: Knowledge of modifier genes can help tailor treatment plans to the individual needs of neonates, improving outcomes and reducing the risk of adverse effects. Prognostic Indicators: Modifier genes can serve as biomarkers to predict disease severity and progression, aiding in early intervention and management. Therapeutic Targets: Identifying modifier genes opens new avenues for therapeutic research, potentially leading to novel treatments that can modify the course of the disease.
