Topic

The aim of this course is to aid the students in understanding the coherences of the phenome-genome from a molecular genetic point of view with the involvement of the new, post-genomic approach. Its goal is to introduce the specific characteristics of a basic group of genetic disorders and to discuss major elements of genetic counselling along with the related legal and ethical aspects. During the course, the attention of the audience will be directed towards the available and rapidly developing modern molecular methods and their adequate and relevant applications in diagnostics and research as well as towards the advantages, limitations and potential risks of genetic tests for an individual.
