Molecular diagnostics refers to a collection of techniques used to analyze biological markers in the genome and proteome. This category of diagnostics enables medical professionals to detect and measure the presence of genetic material or proteins associated with a specific health condition or disease state. Molecular diagnostics are characterized by their precision, accuracy, and speed, as well as their essential role in the healthcare system. These diagnostic methods employ technologies such as PCR (polymerase chain reaction), ISH (in situ hybridization), and DNA sequencing to uncover specific genetic information. Their working mechanism involves extracting, amplifying, and analyzing genetic material, starting with the isolation of DNA or RNA to amplify targeted genetic regions. The amplified genetic material is then examined through various methods to identify mutations or changes, enabling healthcare providers to make informed decisions about diagnosis and treatment. The properties of molecular diagnostics such as sensitivity, specificity, and the ability to process multiple samples simultaneously make them advantageous in providing timely and tailored medical treatments, thereby offering a promising system to personalized medicine.
