Applied Clinical Genetics
GENC5002
Applied clinical genetics and genomics will be co-presented and integrated with the Unit of Study: Clinical genetics and genomics. Students will be introduced to the management of clinical and genomic information and databases. Molecular genetic theory will underpin the understanding of the basis of genetic, syndromes of paediatric and adult onset, cancer genetics, neurogenetics, connective tissue genetics and cardio-respiratory genetics. Application to screening and diagnosis of genetic conditions in the prenatal, paediatric and adult contexts, and current treatment therapies and preventive strategies will be presented. Public Health genetics, genetic epidemiology and population screening, genome scans, and kinship testing will be studied as important aspects of community genetics.
