What are the Clinical Applications of Mutation Profiling?
Mutation profiling has several clinical applications, including:
Targeted Therapy: Identifying mutations allows for the use of drugs designed to target specific genetic alterations. Prognostic Indicators: Certain mutations can provide information about the likely course of the disease. Predictive Biomarkers: These mutations help predict the response to specific therapies. Early Detection and Screening: Mutation profiling can identify genetic predispositions, aiding in early detection and prevention strategies.
