Aims of the Course:

Medical Genetics aims to provide the basic general concepts necessary to understand the mode of transmission of hereditary characteristics normal and pathological. At the end of the course the student will learn about the inheritance of some genetic disorders.


Program of Medical Genetics

The structure and function of DNA
From DNA to protein: transcription, RNA splicing the genetic code, translation.
Human genome organization
Genes and mutations.
Origin of mutations. Point mutations, deletions, insertions, splicing mutations, dynamic mutations.
Structure and function of chromosomes.
Human chromosomes: the number, structure and function.
Chromosomal aberrations.
The normal and pathological human karyotype
Correlations between gametogenesis, meiosis, and segregation.
Family pedigrees: symbols
Concepts of inherited traits, gene, allele, locus
Mendel's laws and allelic interactions: dominance and recessive, phenotype and genotype
Family pedigrees: symbols
Classification of genetic disorders
Examples of hereditary monogenic Mendelian transmission:
autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, X-linked recessive, X-linked dominant.
Non Mendelian inheritance

Module:
The course aims to introduce the beginning and development of scientific psychology, to deepen the basic processes and psychological determinants of helping behavior.
The main topics will be related to: Perception, Attention, Memory, Emotions, Executive functions, Reasoning and Decision-making.
Obiettivi formativi in inglese
RISULTATI DI APPRENDIMENTO IN INGLESE
At the end of the course the student will master the knowledge about the basic processes of general psychology, personality and cognitive and motivational determinants of helping behavior
Competenze da acquisire in Inglese
Students should be able to: identify the mental processes that determine the behavior of the helping behavior; critically examine the theories, to relate the processes investigated, the appropriate use of psychological terminology
