Pseudogene interference: establish which DNA your assay measured
CYP21A2 illustrates how similar DNA sequences and complex gene structures challenge genetic analysis—and why research methods need locus-specific validation.
What makes a genetic result clinically actionable?
Finding a DNA change is only part of the question. Clinical actionability asks whether reliable evidence supports a useful response to that finding.
