Abstract:
Molecular diagnostics is now playing an increasingly important role in the diagnosis , prognosis and therapeutic monitoring of diseases .However, the molecular diagnostic practices in China are still lagging far behind those in the western countries , such as levels of testing platform , test diversity , quality control , result interpretation and administration of laboratory developed tests .Here we compared the current situation of molecular diagnostics in China with the daily work flow in the advanced countries , appealing for the collaboration of governmen administrators , professional associations and clinical laboratories to establish the appropriate supervising policies , technical guides and quality control standards of molecular diagnostic tests .On the premise of an ensured test result , the opening up of clinical test administration will effectively accelerate the development of molecular diagnostics .
