Course Syllabus in Molecular Biology, Immunology and Medical Genetics
Annotation
The updating of the syllabus in medical genetics has been induced by its very quick development and by the importance of its achievements for the clinical practice in the different areas - pediatrics, hematology, oncology, neurology, nephrology, ophthalmology, endocrinology, cardiology, obstetrics, gynecology, therapy, etc.
The aim of the course is to put the basis of contemporary knowledge about human genetics, structured in a logical sequence - biological basis of the hereditary structures, etiology, pathogenesis, hereditability, classification, clinical and genetic polymorphism of the hereditary diseases, modern approaches to their diagnostics, new developments in monogene and polygene pathology, chromosome diseases and hereditary predisposition. The principles, organization and tasks of the medical genetic consultation are discussed, as well as the approaches and indications for pre-natal diagnostics, organization, and essence of the mass and selective genetic screening. The genetic problems of the hereditary malformation diseases, the mythohondrial diseases, diseases due to dynamic or somatic mutations are included. The pre-implantation and pre-conception diagnostics and the therapy of the genetic diseases - conventional and gene therapy, are stressed upon for the first time. Through the updating of the teaching process the graduating doctors are introduced actively into the prophylaxis of the hereditary diseases and predispositions by competent directing of patients to genetic consultations, cooperation in doing screening programmes, evaluation of the indications for DNA diagnostics, cytogenetic analysis, pre-natal, pre-implantation, and post-natal diagnostics.
