Course objectives
The course acquaints students with basic knowledge on the field of clinical genetics The aim is to get a basic overview of clinical genetics, to learn the basic rules of inheritance of signs and diseases, to outline the basics of applied genetics in medicine. To get a basic overview of clinical cytogenetics and molecular cytogenetics. To obtain a basic overview of DNA diagnostics of serious inherited diseases. Obtain a basic overview of the possibilities of genetic counseling. Upon completion of the course the student will be able to join the laboratory teams of clinical genetics. The acquired knowledge and practical skills will be able to apply in the laboratory procedures in cytogenetics and molecular cytogenetics, including DNA analysis techniques.
Learning outcomes
