Descriptor epidemiología molecular
Scope note: Aplicación de la biología molecular para abordar cuestiones epidemiológicas. Entre sus ejemplos se encuentran el examen de patrones de alteraciones en el ADN para relacionarlos con determinados carcinógenos y el uso de marcadores moleculares para predecir qué individuos tienen un mayor riesgo de desarrollar enfermedades.
