Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of pediatric laboratory medicine has undergone remarkable advancements in recent times, leading to significant improvements in the diagnosis and management of pediatric health conditions. One significant breakthrough has been the development of highly sensitive and specific diagnostic tests, enabling the earlier detection and more accurate identification of diseases. In particular, the emergence of next-generation sequencing techniques has revolutionized genetic testing, providing clinicians with powerful tools to identify genetic disorders and inform personalized treatment plans. Additionally, advancements in biomarker research have led to the discovery of new markers used to monitor disease progression and responses to therapy. These recent advances not only enhance our understanding of pediatric diseases but also contribute to improved patient outcomes and the overall quality of pediatric healthcare.
