What Diagnostic Tools are Used to Identify Oncogenes in Pediatric Patients?
Diagnostic approaches to identify oncogenes in pediatric patients include various molecular and genetic tests. Techniques such as fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and next-generation sequencing (NGS) are commonly employed. These tools allow for the detection of specific genetic alterations, such as gene amplifications, mutations, and translocations, that are indicative of oncogene activation.
