Topic

Short description of the course: The course covers overlapping fields of molecular cell biology and clinical genetics, discusses the significance of molecular genetics in clinical medicine. Main topics: the relationship between genotype and phenotype; human genome and phenome program; mosaicism; microsatellite instability; genomic imprinting; embryo cloning; gene therapy; ethical aspects of molecular medicine.

The main educational task of the subject: The aim of the course is to develop connections between basic science and clinical medicine; to convince students that knowledge of molecular biology is essential to understand the pathomechanism of diseases; to give students the chance to face clinical problems even at the beginning of their medical studies.
