Test Description
What does Molecular Diagnostics mean?
DNA and RNA make up the genetic material in human beings. Our genes determine our biological characteristics and also play a key role in determining our risk towards diseases. Hence, genetic testing of human DNA and RNA has assumed great importance when it comes to diagnosing and monitoring serious illnesses like cancer and in predicting the risk of disorders like heart problems, cancer and diabetes in the future.Similarly, the DNA and/or RNA or harmful microbes or pathogens that cause disease can also be detected in human tissue/fluid samples. By detecting the pathogen's genetic material, early and final diagnosis of an infection is possible.Such genetic testing for infections and for other chronic disorders is done under molecular diagnostics. Molecular diagnostics, simply put, is detecting the DNA and RNA of a pathogen or abnormal genetic changes in human cells to diagnose an inherent disorder, cancerous changes, infections or to predict the future risk of diseases.
