Molec & Biochem Basis of Genetic Disease

Catalog description

A comprehensive study of cytogenetic disease using case studies. The relationships between molecular defect and the nature of its clinical pathology will be explored through the examination of biochemical pathways affected such as metabolic, transport, neurological and muscle and bone. In addition, cytogenetic analysis will be examined through the pre-analytical and analytical and post-analytical process. Students will build a foundation of critical decision-making and an understanding of the principles of the molecular and biochemical basis of cytogenetic disease.
