Medical test ASO
- Question
- What is ASO?
- Answer
- Dear questioner,
Out of context, it could be difficult to find the exact meaning of an abbreviation.
However, in the medical field, the term "ASO" (or "ASLO") refers, a priori, to the determination of Anti-StreptoLysines O (anti-streptococcal antibodies). The dosage of these antibodies allows to assert the streptococcal origin of various infections.
This abbreviation can also designate a method of DNA analysis: the ASO technique (for Allele Specific Oligonucleotide). It consist in detecting the presence or absence of a point mutation to determine unambiguously the genotype of the patient to the location of this mutation.
Hoping to have answered your question.
Sincerely,
Laetitia Guéganton
