Aportaciones de la proteómica al laboratorio clínico

The irruption of proteomics in the last decade has opened new insights in clinical research, mainly in the search for new biomarkers of diagnosis, prognosis and recovery, as well as the response to pharmacological treatments. In its clinical application, proteomics is beginning to revolutionise the current definition of disease, developing a new concept that includes both the physiological changes and pathological origins of a disease, and establishing proteomic profiles that allow the clinician to make a more precise diagnosis. In this article presents a detailed description of the main contributions proteomics offers to clinical practice.
