About Molecular Diagnostics

Molecular Diagnostics

Molecular diagnostics is a collection of techniques or tests which are used to detect specific sequences in DNA or RNA or the proteins to diagnose a person with a disease, predict disease course, select treatments, and monitor the effectiveness of therapies.These tests are useful in a range of medical specialists, including infectious disease, oncology, human leucocyte antigen typing (which investigates and predicts immune function), coagulation, and pharmacogenomics—the genetic prediction of which drugs will work best. They overlap with clinical chemistry (medical tests on bodily fluids).
