What are the Applications of Genetic Screening in Histology?
Genetic screening has several applications in histology, including:
- Cancer Diagnosis and Prognosis: Identifying genetic mutations that drive cancer progression can help in diagnosing specific cancer types and predicting patient outcomes. - Hereditary Disease Identification: Screening for genetic mutations associated with hereditary diseases can aid in early diagnosis and intervention. - Pharmacogenomics: Understanding how genetic variations affect drug response can guide personalized treatment plans.
