Identify a molecular technique that is currently being used to diagnose or prognose a genetic condition or disease and address the following elements:

1. Introduction and background of the molecular technique you chose.

2. Describe the equipment involved to perform the technique.

3. Outline the molecular nature of the disease and clinical/phenotypical manifestations of importance

4. Explain how the molecular technique applies to the diagnosis of the disease

5. Describe if the molecular test provides prognostic value for the patient or relatives of the patient.

6. Indicate other current applications or uses of the molecular technique. For example, if you found that it can be used as an infectious disease diagnosis tool, could it also be applied to cancer diagnosis? or if it is a sequencing technique for cancer diagnosis could it be used in prenatal diagnosis?

7. Briefly discuss the potential future for this test or any new research including the technique that you found.
