Sažetak
The Croatian Society of Medical Biochemists and Slovenian Association for Clinical Chemistry, together with the European Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (EFCC), former FESCC, have organized the seventh in a series of postgraduate weekend courses under the auspices of IFCC. The Course entitled “ New Trends in Diagnosis, Monitoring and Management using Molecular Diagnosis Methods” promotes continuing postgraduate education of professionals in clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, and ensures the laboratory knowledge harmonization, this time on molecular diagnosis methods in particular. Renowned experts from European countries participating at this specialized EFCC Course have presented the state-of-the-art knowledge of molecular methods used in different clinical settings. The integrated knowledge of the authors, experts in different fields, printed in the Course Handbook, is intended to provide optimal information to the reader. The contents of Handbook is divided into three chapters according to the Course program. The chapter Molecular Diagnosis in Inherited Disease covers topics such as Prenatal diagnosis of chromosomal disorders – molecular aspects, Postnatal molecular diagnosis of inherited diseases, Risk assessment and Global approach to biomedicine: functional genomics and proteomics. In the chapter Molecular Diagnosis in (Pharmaco) Therapy, Pharmacogenomics and personalized medicine, Dose adjustments based on pharmacogenetics of CYP450 enzymes, Pharmacogenetics of drug receptors and Application of pharmacogenetics in dose individualization in diabetes, psychiatry, cancer and cardiology are presented. The last chapter addresses, New technologies methods, Ethics, Quality assessment in molecular diagnosis where point-of-care molecular diagnosis: a near future?, Circulating nucleic acids as a diagnostic tool, European quality assessment networks in molecular diagnosis, and Ethics and legal issues of genetic testing.
