“DNA diagnostics is a cutting edge method which is set to revolutionize the field of medical diagnostics. This technique enables medical professionals to identify various diseases, such as cancer, infectious diseases, and myogenic disorders, and to determine the appropriate treatment for the same. It is also used for clinical diagnostic confirmation and in prenatal diagnostics. The concept of DNA diagnostics has evolved via the breakthrough human genome project that resulted in the discovery of various disease-causing agents. The DNA diagnostics market is expected to generate 19 billion by 2020, growing at a CAGR of 9.8% during the analysis period. Technological development has played a major role in improving DNA diagnostic platforms and techniques.
Some of the significant technologies which incorporate DNA diagnostics include polymerase chain reaction (PCR), microarray techniques, sequencing technology and mass spectrometry; these technologies are used for sample preparation, DNA isolation etc. Technological developments, which have led to improvements in these methodologies, drive the growth of the DNA diagnostics market. The use of DNA diagnostic methods in prenatal diagnostics and clinical confirmation has also boosted market growth. The DNA diagnostics market is expected to experience a growth spurt in the foreseeable future. Innovations in product design and technology have prompted doctors and researchers to shift their focus from traditional diagnostic methods to personalized medicines. The increased adoption of the personalized medicines approach would positively impact the DNA diagnostics market in the foreseeable future. Next generation sequencing is a powerful tool for decoding a number of human diseases, including various forms of cancer. Next generation sequencing reduces the cost of sequencing and increases the throughput. The optimization of sequencing technology could greatly impact the DNA diagnostics market.
