As an extension of these topics, ethical, juridical and psychosocial issues are discussed.
Learning outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will know:
-the genetic and molecular basis of heredity and heritable traits
-how genetics and genomics reveal an understanding of human existence, including genetic diseases, cancer, and human evolution,
-how genetic research and genetic diagnostics lead to improved human health
-current ethical, social and legal debates concerning human genetics
