What Are the Applications of Mutation Analysis in Histology?
Mutation analysis has a wide range of applications in histology:
1. Cancer Research: It helps in identifying genetic mutations that drive cancer, leading to better understanding and treatment. 2. Genetic Disorders: It aids in diagnosing and understanding various genetic disorders. 3. Pharmacogenomics: Understanding how genetic mutations affect drug response can lead to personalized medicine. 4. Infectious Diseases: Identifying mutations in pathogens can help in understanding resistance mechanisms and developing targeted therapies.
