Pediatric Neurogenetics

Pediatric neurogenetics is a field of medicine that studies how genetic factors influence brain development and neurological conditions in children. It focuses on identifying genetic mutations or changes that can lead to disorders affecting the brain and nervous system, such as epilepsy, developmental delays, and genetic syndromes. By understanding these genetic links, doctors can provide personalized treatment options, better prognoses, and support for affected families. This specialized area combines insights from genetics, neurology, and pediatrics to improve outcomes for children with complex neurological issues.
