Genetic mutation analysis is a laboratory technology used to identify and characterize changes in an organism’s DNA. These analyzes can detect any changes in parts of genes, genome or chromosomes.
Genetic mutations are changes in an organism’s DNA. These changes can cause various diseases by altering or destroying the functions of genes. Genetic mutations can occur naturally or be induced by environmental factors.
Genetic mutation analysis uses a number of methods to detect and characterize changes in an organism’s DNA. These methods include techniques such as DNA sequencing, PCR (polymerase chain reaction), chromosome analysis, microarray analysis, and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). These techniques are used to detect genetic mutations, identify the types and locations of mutations, and understand their contribution to disease.
Genetic mutation analysis is used in the diagnosis and treatment of genetic diseases, cancer treatment, screening tests for hereditary diseases, and personalized medicine. Thanks to this technology, more information can be obtained about the causes and treatments of diseases by analyzing the individual genetic profiles of patients.
