Precision Pediatrics

Meaning

Precision pediatrics is an emerging approach to child healthcare that leverages individualized data, including genomic sequencing, high-resolution biomarker analysis, and environmental exposure history, to tailor preventative strategies and therapeutic interventions for infants, children, and adolescents. This method moves beyond generalized pediatric norms to recognize and address the unique biological and developmental trajectories of each young patient. In endocrinology, this is crucial for managing congenital adrenal hyperplasia, growth hormone deficiencies, and early-onset metabolic disorders with unprecedented accuracy.
