Core Tip	Recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) shows many advantages over both real time polymerase chain reaction and other isothermal Amplification methods. In this review we show the importance of molecular detection methods and how isothermal amplification techniques offer molecular point-of-care diagnosis. RPA shows unique characteristics among isothermal approaches that makes it a promising tool in the molecular diagnosis. Because hepatitis C virus is an endemic viral infection, we suggest that RPA may play an important role and save much time in screening infected individuals and managing the therapeutic course.
