Biobank to Illuminate the Genomic Basis of pediatRic Disease (BIGBiRD)

Overview

The Biobank to Illuminate the Genomic Basis of Pediatric Disease (BIGBiRD) is an initiative focused on understanding the genetic factors underlying pediatric diseases. By collecting and analyzing genetic, clinical, and environmental data from children and their families, researchers aim to identify genetic markers associated with various childhood diseases. The goal is to advance the knowledge of how genetic variations influence pediatric health and to develop more effective, personalized treatments and preventive strategies for children.
