Learning objectives
The course aims to make students understand the role of genetic testing in the clinical course of the patient. The course also aims to provide students who have no medical training the basic knowledge on the clinical aspects concerning the genetic basis of diseases. The course aims to provide an updated view of molecular biology techniques that are used in a clinical setting.
Prerequisites and basic notions
To understand the various topics in the course, students must have a basic understanding of classical genetics. Students must be familiar with Mendel's laws, the genetic code, and information about DNA, RNA, and proteins.
Program
- Course presentation.
- Organization of the clinical molecular biology laboratory and basic concepts.
- Methods used in clinical molecular biology.
- Applications of clinical molecular biology to the laboratory diagnosis of Mendelian diseases (1): Cystic fibrosis. - Applications of clinical molecular biology to the laboratory diagnosis of Mendelian diseases (2): Achondroplasia.
- Applications of clinical molecular biology to the laboratory diagnosis of Mendelian diseases (3): Cardiomyopathies and Arrhythmias. - Applications of clinical molecular biology to the laboratory diagnosis of Mendelian diseases (4): Eye diseases.
- Male infertility: Y-microdeletion.
- Genetics of mental retardation.
- Prenatal diagnosis of genetic diseases.
- NIPT
Didactic methods
The course will feature 48 hours of face-to-face lessons
Learning assessment procedures
The exam consists of a written test wiyh open-ended and multiple-choice questions that will focus on the subjects covered during the course.
Evaluation criteria
The exam will give the student the opportunity of i) to determine the comprehension of the topics discussed during the lessons; ii) to assess the ability to link the acquired skills to potential applications in the clinical molecular biology
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
The exam is organized to cover all the topics discussed during lessons in order to ascertain the level of knowledge reached by each student on the whole program. The exam method will be the same for attending and non-attending students
