How Are Genetic Profiles Integrated into Histological Analysis?

Genetic profiling involves analyzing a patient’s DNA to identify genetic mutations and variations that may influence disease and treatment response. In histology, tissue samples can be subjected to molecular techniques such as fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect genetic abnormalities. Integrating genetic profiles with histological findings allows for a more comprehensive understanding of the disease and aids in the development of personalized treatment plans.
