| Popis: | Molecular pathology cannot be discussed without including the translational nature of the clinical practice. While the number of Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-cleared or FDA-approved molecular pathology in vitro diagnostic test kits and analyte-specific reagents is increasing, the development of commercial test kits and reagents does not keep pace with the clinically useful genomic information generated by basic, translational, and clinical research. In the genomic in vitro diagnostic testing arena, the molecular pathology laboratory stands at the interface between science and medicine. With existing molecular biology methods, the vast majority of genomic discoveries linking genomic sequences or variations to disease states or risk can be translated into clinical tests in the molecular pathology laboratory. The laboratory director and personnel must understand the regulations and standards that govern this translational process to ensure that the high quality of clinical practice is assured. |
