RESEARCH STRATEGIES AND ANALYSIS IN CLINICAL GENETICS

GENECSLR 745

Practice qualitative and quantitative research methods in genetic counseling. Develop research question, prepare research proposal including internal review board application.

GENECSLR 740

Introduction to clinical laboratory genetics with a particular focus on the relevance of human cytogenetics and molecular genetics to the practice of medical genetics. Covers the fundamental principles of human cytogenetic and molecular genetics including human chromosome structure, function, cytogenetic and molecular nomenclature, and current clinical laboratory testing methods relevant to medical genetic professionals. Apply cytogenetic and molecular genetic understanding to clinical scenarios to help diagnosis and manage individuals with genetic disease.

GENECSLR 990

Research and/or scholarly work (e.g. quality improvement, clinical case reports) supervised by faculty and/or staff member with appropriate content expertise and/or experience in research mentorship.

GENECSLR 731

An advanced course covering clinical genetic concepts including phenotype, genetic mechanisms, approach to diagnosis (medical, clinical and genetic testing protocols), and natural history (including management approaches).

GENECSLR 721

Integrative introduction to the mechanisms of clinical genetic disease at the molecular, individual and population level.
