Genomic Profiling
Solution for diagnosis and help for determining the treatment of diseases
-
Genomic profiling includes the detection of genetic variants that increases your risk for certain health conditions. It can provide diagnostic and prognostic information that aids in difficult clinical decision-making. The technique chosen depends on both the clinical question and the predictive value of the available tests.
-
Genomic profiling in India has evolved in leaps and bounds in the past decade. Currently, there exist DNA-based tests that address multiple concerns in healthcare, from disease prevention to molecular diagnosis.
