Precision medicine and standardization of clinical laboratories / 中华检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Diverse technological advances in laboratory testing like DNA sequencing,have played important roles at the beginning of precision medicine.And the development of precision medicine will also require the advances of laboratory testing.However,with more new methods and biomarkers applied in clinical practice,the standardization of clinical laboratories testing is confronting great challenges.We will discuss the key challenges related to standardization of commercial reagents or systems and clinical tests,such as the choice of biomarkers,laboratory-developed tests and interpretation and reporting of the results.
