Course Objectives: | This course aims to improve dentistry student's knowledge about medical biology and genetics in medical context. Fundamentals of human genetics and genomics as applied to health and disease will be thought to improve the students' diagnostic and research skills. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; By the end of the course, you will be able to; • Explain the evolutionary basis of genome • Explain the common and different characteristics of species • Explain the organization of human genome • Define genetic disorders and medical genetics. • Explain the types of genetic disorders • Explain the content and structure DNA • Explain the mitochondrial genome structure and properties • List and classify steps of cell cycle. • Explain the steps and different features of mitosis and meiosis. • Explain the medical relevance of mitosis and meiosis. • Explain phenotype and genotype with their correlations. • Describe the central dogma of biology • Explains the basic principles of transcription and translation • Define polymorphisms and its importance in medical genetics. • List the common variation types in human genome with respect to their size, frequency and basis for the polymorphisms • Explain the mutation rates for selected human diseases • Explain the sex differences and age effects on mutation rates • List the different types of mutations, their consequences and frequencies • Explain the term dynamic mutations |
Medical Biology is a discipline that uses molecular biology, cell biology and molecular genetics fields to understand and explain underlying cause of medical situations. Thus, the molecular and genetic mechanisms of a healthy cell is studied in order to understand the causes of a diseased state. |
