: Children with inherited and/or acquired respiratory disorders often arrive in adolescence and adulthood with diminished lung function that might have been detected and prevented had better mechanisms been available to identify and to assess progression of disease. Fortunately, advances in genetic assessments, low-cost diagnostics, and minimally- invasive novel biomarkers are being developed to detect and to treat respiratory diseases before they give rise to loss of life or lung function.

Abstract
: Children with inherited and/or acquired respiratory disorders often arrive in adolescence and adulthood with diminished lung function that might have been detected and prevented had better mechanisms been available to identify and to assess progression of disease. Fortunately, advances in genetic assessments, low-cost diagnostics, and minimally- invasive novel biomarkers are being developed to detect and to treat respiratory diseases before they give rise to loss of life or lung function. This paper summarizes the Developing Biomarkers for Pulmonary Health sessions of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute- sponsored 2021 Defining and Promoting Pediatric Pulmonary Health workshop. These sessions discussed genetic testing, pulse oximetry, exhaled nitric oxide, and novel biomarkers related to childhood lung diseases.Pubblicazioni consigliate
