Summary | The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) has dramatically altered how molecular studies are conducted and since the original publication of this technique, in 1985, there has been an explosion of reports on its use in medicine and biomedical research. In this article we will summarize our knowledge on the use of the PCR in medical and forensic applications. We will discuss its value in the characterization of genetic defects, HLA typing, detecting microorganisms, identifying activated oncogenes and in the characterization of leukemias and lymphomas and will conclude with the precautions which must be taken in order to avoid contaminations during the various steps of this technique. | |
