This article is a collection of molecular pathology tests. It is not meant to be complete list. It is there to give a flavour of what is out there and how things are done.
Hereditary
Tests for hereditary conditions:[1]
| Target | Technique | Disease | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|

Lymphoma
Tests for lymphomas:[1]
| Target | Technique | Disease | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
