BIOLOGY AND GENETICS
No pre-requisites are necessary
The exam is an oral exam. The students are questioned on the subjects described during the course, and part of the exam is focus on their ability to apply the knowledge learned, their indipendent judgement, and their communication skills.
The course give the methodologic basis to study the biological fenomena like the genetic variability , the ereditary and gene expression mechanisms both at the molecular and cellular level.
The course give the tools and the scientific basis to understand the genetic backgroungd of the human pathology. The course give the basis to understand the molecular genetics of bacteria and virus. The course give the students the tools to apply the genetic analysis in clinical practice.
1 . Genetic consultation : frequency and prevalency and importance of the genetic disease in the assistence of the patient.
2. Monogenic disease, formal genetics , genetics and biochemerstry, molcular genetics, diagnostic tools and mocelular techniques.
3. Immunogenetics, farmacogenetics, developmental genetics, population genetics. Analytical tools for the study.
4. The genetic basis of multifactorial disease and tools for the study.
5. Medical cytogenetics , phenotype genotipe correlation. Gene dosage and molecular cytogenetics. Tools for the studies.
6. Genetics and tumors. Molecular pathogenesis of the neoplasia and practical approches .
7. the prevention of the genetic disease.
8. Clinical genetics: part of the course will be dedicated to clinical cases of monogenic disease, multifactorial, and chromosomic disease with the description of the strategies to prevent them and to elaborate a genetic consultation.
