DNA Examinations
Trillions of cells make up the human body, at the
core of which lies the human genome (DNA). Our DNA contains all the
information (genetic code) for the construction, function, and
composition of our body, distributed across 23 pairs of homologous
chromosomes. This code is inherited from our parents (with each pair
having one chromosome from the mother and one from the father) and
includes 30,000 genes.
Molecular Biology is a branch of Biology that focuses on the function of genes at the molecular level and the way they are transmitted from one generation to the next, using methods from molecular and genetic biology. With its help, the determination of ancestry is investigated, and the classification of organisms is achieved with scientific accuracy.
Molecular Biology plays a crucial role in the research of pathogenesis, development, and evolution of genetic diseases, where alternative technologies may not prove sufficient. It detects changes in genetic material responsible for genetically inherited diseases, such as Mediterranean Anemia and Cystic Fibrosis.
Additionally, it identifies genetic predispositions to diseases such as cancer, osteoporosis, and others, and provides the possibility of pre-symptomatic diagnosis and prevention of these genetic conditions in relatives. Finally, its role is also critical in prenatal screening, with the identification and prevention of high-risk pregnancies.
