Genetics

The NeoScreen SMA/TREC/KREC REAL-TIME PCR Detection Kit is designed to detect homozygous deletion of exon 7 of the SMN1 gene and assess the level of T-cell receptor excision circles (TREC) and kappa-deleting recombination excision circle (KREC) in newborn biological material (whole blood, dried blood spots) for screening for spinal muscular atrophy and primary immunodeficiencies by real-time PCR.

Pharmacogenetics is a section of medical genetics and pharmacology that studies genetically caused individual responses to drugs.
