Not every molecular diagnostic test is created equal. Each test uses a different technique to study a disease or immunologic response, and the data obtained from each test answers different questions. Some tests detect antigens while others detect antibodies. Some tests sequence fragments of DNA or entire genomes to detect the presence of an organism or genetic modification. Refer to Table 3.1 for a list of some of the dermatologic diagnostic tests available today. Also, not every laboratory is created equally. It is important to use reputable laboratories and if possible to be sure the tests they are offering have been verified.
