Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pediatric diseases often have a strong genetic component, and integrating genetic analysis into clinical research can enhance our understanding of disease mechanisms, diagnosis, and management. This Special Issue, “Genes and Pediatrics”, brings together a collection of studies on a wide range of pediatric conditions, incorporating genetic findings to complement clinical observations. While the genetic variants reported may not be novel, their documentation in diverse pediatric diseases can contribute to broader datasets, aiding in diagnosis and patient care. By bridging pediatrics and genetics, this Special Issue aims to provide valuable insights for both clinicians and researchers working at the intersection of these fields.
