Molecular Diagnostics

Advanced DNA & RNA Testing for Accurate Disease Detection

🧾 What is Molecular Diagnostics?

Molecular Diagnostics involves analysing DNA, RNA, and proteins to detect genetic changes, infections, and cancers at a molecular level. It uses PCR, RT-PCR, and other advanced techniques to identify diseases with high precision and speed.

At Dr. Anand’s Imaging & Neurological Research Centre, we provide state-of-the-art molecular testing for better treatment decisions and personalised care.

✅ How Does It Help?

🧬 Detect Genetic Disorders

  • Identifies inherited diseases and genetic mutations

🦠 Diagnose Infections Rapidly

  • Detects viral (COVID-19, Hepatitis), bacterial, and other infections within hours

🧪 Guide Cancer Treatment

  • Finds specific gene mutations in cancers (lung, breast, leukemia) to plan targeted therapy

👶 Prenatal & Neonatal Screening

  • Screens for genetic diseases in unborn babies and newborns

How Does It Work?

1. 💉 Sample Collection

Blood, swab, or tissue samples are collected safely by trained staff.

2. 🔬 Laboratory Analysis

Samples are processed using PCR, RT-PCR, and molecular sequencing machines for gene analysis.

3. 📝 Reporting

Results are interpreted by expert molecular pathologists and shared with your doctor.

4. ⏱️ Duration

Most reports are available within 24–48 hours, depending on test complexity.

📌 Common Molecular Diagnostic Tests

🔹 COVID-19 RT-PCR
🔹 HBV & HCV Viral Load
🔹 HPV DNA Test (Cervical cancer screening)
🔹 Tuberculosis PCR (GeneXpert)
🔹 BRCA1 & BRCA2 (Breast/Ovarian cancer risk)
🔹 BCR-ABL (CML leukemia monitoring)
🔹 EGFR Mutation Analysis (Lung cancer)
🔹 KRAS, NRAS, BRAF Mutations (Colon cancer)

🧍‍♀️ Test Preparation & Safety

✅ No special preparation for most tests
✅ Safe sample collection under strict sterile protocols
✅ Resume normal activities after collection

Frequently Asked Questions❓

Q: 🧬 What are molecular tests used for?

🅰️ To detect genetic mutations, infections, and cancers at DNA/RNA level.

Q: ⏱️ How long for reports?

🅰️ Most reports are ready in 24-48 hours, depending on test type.

Q: 💉 Is the test painful?

🅰️ Sample collection is similar to routine blood or swab tests, minimal discomfort.

Q: 🧪 Why choose molecular testing?

🅰️ It offers high accuracy, fast results, and detects diseases not visible in routine tests.
