Description

Genomic medicine is playing an increasingly important role in pediatric care, but it can feel complex for general pediatricians. In this episode of Pediatrics in Practice, Scott Younger, PhD, discusses how genomics is already influencing pediatric diagnosis and care today, common scenarios where genetic insights may be helpful, and why genomic testing can be valuable even when it doesn’t lead to a targeted therapy. This conversation offers practical guidance on when to consider genomics, when to refer, and how pediatricians can partner with genetics and subspecialty teams to support patients and families.
