Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will explore the rapidly advancing field of genetics and genomics in pediatric neurological disorders. It will highlight cutting-edge research, novel gene discoveries, and emerging diagnostic technologies and precision medicine developments that are transforming clinical care. Contributions may span neurodevelopmental, neurodegenerative, and epileptic disorders, emphasizing genotype–phenotype correlations, functional studies, and precision medicine approaches. Through case series, multiomics phenotyping, translational research, and precision therapies, this issue will underscore the critical role of genomic insights in unraveling disease mechanisms and guiding targeted therapies. It aims to inform clinicians, geneticists, and researchers dedicated to improving outcomes for children affected by complex neurological conditions through the power of genomics.
Dr. Andrea L. Gropman
