Pathologists could benefit if postmortem genetic testing becomes more commonplace following incidents of sudden unexpected death Pathologists are discovering that molecular autopsy, also called postmortem molecular testing, could boost the chance of discovering the likely or plausible cause of sudden unexpected death, according to preliminary results from a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). Researchers led by Ali Torkamani, PhD, Director of Genome...
