Techniques for molecular pathology

Techniques for molecular pathology are advanced methods used to study diseases at the molecular level, focusing on the genetic and biochemical mechanisms underlying various conditions. These techniques include polymerase chain reaction (PCR), next-generation sequencing (NGS), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and immunohistochemistry. By analyzing DNA, RNA, and protein samples, molecular pathology can identify genetic mutations, chromosomal abnormalities, and protein expressions associated with diseases like cancer, genetic disorders, and infectious diseases. These techniques provide precise and detailed information, enabling personalized treatment plans, early diagnosis, and better understanding of disease progression, ultimately improving patient outcomes through tailored therapies and targeted interventions.
