Learning objectives
The main objective of the course is to provide tools and knowledge about various aspects of human, medical and molecular, genetics. This includes the characterization of different types of DNA variation and their functional impact, the study of genome structure and function, gene regulation and maintenance, genetic variability in populations, and the characterization of genetic factors involved in the pathogenic mechanisms of monogenic and complex diseases.
The student should attain a solid understanding of the inheritance patterns of monogenic and multifactorial diseases, about characterization of different types of DNA variation and of their functional impact, and the experimental approaches that can integrate data from various omics sciences to identify the genetic causes that define and influence disease-associated mechanisms. Furthermore, they should demonstrate the ability to describe key genetic concepts, connect different aspects of human and medical genetics succinctly, with language mastery, and independently exhibit critical thinking.
Prerequisites and basic notions
Students should have acquired the essential concepts of biology, chemistry and biochemistry

Criteria for the composition of the final grade
The genetics exam consists of a single written test for both the medical genetics and molecular genetics modules. It includes multiple choice quizzes, open questions and exercises to be completed in 60 minutes. The genetics exam is passed if the grade is equal to or greater than 18/30.
