Abstract
The main objectives of the course are:
- learning the methods of risk evaluation for hereditary diseases of various molecular background in patients based on family anamneses
- understanding the basic principles of gene engineering
- understanding and practising selected molecular methods used for examination of some cancers or hereditary and infectious diseases with regard to the selection of appropriate therapy
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student will be able to:
- evaluate the risk of hereditary diseases of various molecular background in patients based on assigned family anamneses of the diseases
- describes the basic principles of genetic prognosis and genetic counselling
- suggest and perform basic molecular-genetic diagnostic examinations of some hereditary, tumour and infectious diseases (PCR, restriction digest, gel electrophoresis), and to interpret the obtained results
- explain selected basic techniques of gene engineering and their application in medicine, and, with knowledge of the used method, to select the clones of cells with an inserted gene
Key topics
  • Week 1: Genetic disorders - autosomal and gonosomal inheritance
  • Week 2: Extensions to basic genetics
  • Week 3: Genetic prognosis and genetic counselling
  • Week 4: Human population genetics
  • Week 5: Basic methods of molecular biology II

  • Week 8: Molecular diagnostics of human pathogenic bacteria
  • Week 9: Molecular diagnostics of cancer
  • Week 10: Molecular diagnostics of cancer
  • Week 11: Gene engineering – production of human proteins in bacterial cells
  • Week 12: Gene engineering – production of human proteins in bacterial cells
  • Week 13: Control test 4 (knowledge from week 7 to week 12 of the spring semester - lectures, practices)
  • Week 14: no practices, Credit test

Method of verifying learning outcomes and course completion requirements
Practical classes are mandatory.
Requirements for course completion: full attendance in the practices (1 absence, excused or unexcused, is allowed); all protocols completed (also for missed lessons) and checked and signed by appropriate teachers; successfully passed 2 written control tests during the semester (knowledge from lectures and practices, 20 questions in each test, 1 answer correct to be chosen from 4 possibilities, student needs to reach at least 24 points out of 40 from both of the tests). If you do not pass the control tests (you have less than 24 points), you have two possibilities to write a re-sit of the control tests (Credit test).
In case of a student’s late arrival to the practice or poor activity at the practice, the student is required to write an essay in the length of 2 pages on a given topic. Same for the case of two absences in practice (excused or unexcused). Find the instructions for essay writing in the Instructions for the course in the Interactive syllabus in the IS. Bring the essay printed to the teacher who specified the topic (after making an appointment during consulting hours), and be ready to answer the teacher's questions regarding the topic.
In case of 3 absences (excused or unexcused), (or more than 3 absences all excused by the Office for Studies within 5 days from the beginning of the absence and introduced to the Information System), it is addressed individually and course-unit credit is awarded only after the proof of the student's knowledge of the entire semester topics (Credit test, see above).
In the case of 4 or more unexcused absences, the course-unit credit is not awarded.

https://is.muni.cz/auth/el/med/jaro2026/ZLBI0222c/index_liche.qwarp
Účast na výuce je povinná. Výuka probíhá formou praktických cvičení každý týden.
Interaktivní osnova předmětu: https://is.muni.cz/auth/el/med/jaro2026/ZLBI0222c/index_liche.qwarp
Potřeby pro cvičení: vytištěný aktuální protokol, psací potřeby. Protokoly pro každé praktické cvičení si stáhněte ze Studijních materiálů nebo Interaktivní osnovy v ISu a nastudujte předem. Přezůvky vítané, pláště a vlastní chirurgické rukavice nejsou vyžadovány, ale při úlohách s barvením preparátů jsou pláště doporučeny.
Do učebny si vezměte pouze protokoly a psací potřeby, všechny ostatní věci si ještě před začátkem výuky odložte do šatny Biologického ústavu (B07, místnost 203), která bude po dobu výuky uzamčena.
Nahrazování cvičení: Pokud výjimečně nemůžete absolvovat praktická cvičení se svou skupinou (nemoc, návštěva lékaře - maximálně 1x za semestr), domluvte si e-mailem s kontaktní osobou předmětu nahrazení cvičení s jinou skupinou. Pište nejméně 24 hodin před plánovaným nahrazením a upřesněte skupinu (datum a čas), se kterou se chcete cvičení zúčastnit (viz Rozvrh, který najdete v organizačních pokynech v Interaktivní osnově). Výuku lze nahradit pouze v tom samém výukovém týdnu, kdy byla zameškána. Při vyčerpání kapacity skupiny vám nahrazení nemusí být umožněno. Opakované nahrazování výuky s jinými skupinami není povoleno.
Kompletní pokyny k výuce najdete na následujícím odkazu: https://is.muni.cz/auth/el/med/jaro2026/ZLBI0222c/op/Pokyny_ke_cvicenim.pdf?predmet=1703707
Při opakování předmětu je možné na vyžádání uznat absolvovanou praktickou výuku. O uznání je potřeba požádat v prvním týdnu výuky e-mailem s uvedením důvodu.
