Course Objectives: The aim of this course is to list more common genetic diseases and explain their molecular pathophysiologies so that the students will obtain insight about the available and possible, promising solutions such as gene therapy

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
At the end of this course, students will:
explain the nature of biological systems, DNA, RNA, replication, and transcription. And will understand these molecules and reactions
appreciate the directions research in molecular genetics is heading and be able to draw on this insight as they pursue further studies and research in diverse areas of genetics and biology.
emphasize important topics, principles, and methods of genetics and molecular genetics as they relate to human variation and disease, using specific genetic disorders to illustrate key points
list the basic principles of chromosome structure and mechanisms of meiosis and meiotic recombination and how these mechanisms and maternal age influence the origin of aneuploidy in humans.
List the causes and consequences of structural rearrangements from translocations and other gross rearrangements to microdeletions and copy number variants. We will discuss how our understanding of the mechanisms causing these aberrations has changed over the past few years and how this relates parental origin and genetic risks.

Course Content

The course covers the topics of chromosomal and genomic structural variation and disorders, Mendelian inheritance and monogenic traits, non-Mendelian inheritance, complex genetic disorders and cancer genetics. Papers from the current and classic literature will supplement lecture material. Throughout, attention will be given to newer genome-wide analysis methods that are dramatically increasing our understanding of the extent of genetic variation and the many modes of gene expression. will emphasize important topics, principles, and methods of genetics and molecular genetics as they relate to human variation and disease, using specific genetic disorders to illustrate key points
