Introduction:
Molecular pathology is a rapidly evolving field that focuses on understanding diseases at the molecular level, including the analysis of genetic material (DNA and RNA) and proteins. This discipline uses advanced techniques such as Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), DNA sequencing, and mass spectrometry to analyze genetic changes in cells and tissues. By studying these changes, medical professionals can accurately diagnose diseases, predict disease progression, and optimize treatment strategies.
Molecular pathology plays a critical role in personalized medicine and targeted therapies. By examining genetic patterns, clinicians can identify genetic factors contributing to diseases, as well as predict how a patient will respond to specific treatments.
