Mutation detection is a critical component of modern healthcare in both Brazil and the United States, particularly in oncology, genetic counseling, and precision medicine. In Brazil, genetic testing services have expanded significantly in major urban centers like São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, though access remains more limited in rural areas. In the USA, mutation detection is routinely integrated into clinical practice for cancer screening, inherited disease diagnosis, and treatment planning, with significant insurance coverage. The term is primarily used in medical, scientific, and healthcare professional contexts in both countries.
