Description: | |||
This unit gives students an appreciation of the achievements and rapid pace of development in medical genetics. It creates a case-based learning environment, linking daily situations in clinical genetics to the complex information available from human molecular genetics. In this way, medical genetics is made simple, attractive and real. Important examples of human genetic disorders are introduced and current strategies for diagnosis, treatment and prevention described. The unit concludes with an analysis of services available for families with genetic disorders. Full Unit Outline | |||
