Abstract
Early diagnosis by molecular tests has increasingly catched attention after deciphering the complete human genome sequence in 2001. Meanwhile, complete genome sequencing will soon become available for each individual. Molecular testing is standard of care in certain infectious or malignant diseases. Novel biomarkers are emerging as a result of modern comprehensive procedures (transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics etc). However, hype and hope are particularly close in this field and responsible conduct by clinicians will ensure beneficial use of new tests.
