Molecular diagnostics has expanded rapidly in recent years. It a class of diagnostic tests that measure specific cellular alterations, genetic sequences in DNA or RNA for various disorders and diseases. Genetic molecular testing has become a fundamental method for evaluating a growing number of inherited disorders, somatic or acquired diseases with genetic associations, and pharmacogenetic responses. In clinical oncology, there are multiple applications of molecular tests. Mutation analysis is now routinely utilized for the diagnosis of hereditary cancer syndromes. The course covers various aspects of molecular diagnostics used in genetic testing and oncology.
