Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Many pediatric diseases are caused by genetic mutations. Traditional diagnosis and treatment models mainly rely on clinical symptom observation and limited genetic testing technology, which often faces challenges such as a long diagnosis cycle and limited accuracy. With the advent of personalized medicine, the rapid development of high-throughput genome sequencing technology and genetic counseling has delivered revolutionary breakthroughs in the precise diagnosis, risk prediction and personalized treatment of pediatric genetic diseases, significantly improving the diagnosis and treatment effects and long-term survival quality of children.
This Special Issue aims to promote deep integration of the precise diagnosis and treatment of pediatric diseases with personalized medicine, promote the clinical transformation of genome sequencing technology, standardize the practice of genetic counseling, and optimize multidisciplinary collaborative diagnosis and treatment models. We hope to provide new ideas for early intervention and personalized management of pediatric diseases by bringing together cutting-edge research results and clinical practice experience.
We welcome submissions of original research articles and reviews covering but not limited to the following: the application of pediatric genome sequencing, genetic counseling strategies, bioinformatics analysis, personalized treatment, etc., to jointly promote innovation and development in this field!
Dr. Monika Lejman
