Thematik

The goal of this course is to delineate the structure and variations of the human genome, to foster the formation of an approach that will aid the acquirement of preclinical and later clinical subjects with the possession of a molecular knowledge. The further goal is to discuss the molecular basics associated with human heredity and to introduce diagnostic methods relevant to the understanding of heritable disorders.
