Moleculartesting is increasingly used in place of immuno-histology or enzymology methods to detect and monitor genetic diseases, including: (1) DNA sequence analysis to detect single nucleotide and insertion/deletion polymorphisms (SNPs and DIPs, respectively, associated with cancers and many other genetic disorders), and (2) DNA fragment analysis to detect and quantify genetic variations.
