How has molecular diagnostics improved gynecological testing?
Molecular diagnostics have revolutionized gynecological testing by allowing for the detection of diseases at the genetic and molecular levels. Techniques such as Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) enable the identification of specific pathogens and genetic mutations. This is particularly useful in diagnosing infections like HPV and hereditary conditions such as BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations.
