Course objectives
The subject introduces basic knowledge in the field of clinical genetics. The goal is to get a basic overview of the field of clinical genetics, to learn the basic rules of inheritance of traits and diseases, to outline the basics of applied genetics in medicine, to get a basic overview of the methods of clinical cytogenetics and molecular cytogenetics, to get a basic overview of the DNA methods of diagnosis of serious hereditary diseases disease and get a basic overview of genetic counseling options.
Learning outcomes
The student will know:
- basic concepts and diagnoses in medical genetics After completing the course, the student will be able to:
- clarify the type of inheritance of the disease
- determine biological material for genetic examination
- propose an investigative method for genetic analysis
