Introduction to Clinical Genetics
Integrative introduction to the mechanisms of clinical genetic disease at the molecular, individual and population level.
Summary
Lectures are small, with a median of 8 enrolled students in the recorded sections.
What you’ll be able to do
Explain mechanisms of genetic disease and how they result in genetic disorders using clinical examples.
Assess available genetic testing and screening technologies; identify the most appropriate method to detect various etiologies of genetic disease.
Calculate and assess risk for a patient, family members and population.
Identify the benefits and limitations of a molecular diagnosis and result.
Relate the mechanisms of gene therapies and/or treatments to the mechanisms of the genetic disorder(s) it addresses.
Apply and adapt course information for use in a clinical setting, appreciating the familial and psychosocial implications of genetic disorders.
