Abstract
Clinical molecular biology tests include a series of qualitative–quantitative analyses of biological molecules (DNA, RNA, proteins) to clinically evaluate patients with genetic diseases (congenital or acquired). They offer a diagnostic contribution at all stages of the natural history of the disease.
