Basic concepts of genetics, providing an overview of how genes, chromosomes, and inheritance patterns influence health and disease.
We are covering the fundamentals of genetics and genomics. The distinction between these two fields, the structure and function of DNA, and exploring the concepts of genes, mutations, and inheritance patterns. Going over the gene nomenclature and karyotyping, as well as the regulation of gene expression through transcription and translation. Additionally examining mitochondrial DNA, pharmacogenomics, and alterations in DNA, including oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. Finally, it covers a wide range of genetic and chromosomal disorders, including their causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment.
