CMM521

041324

Diagnostic tools in genetics have been rapidly evolving since the publishing of the Human Genome in 2003. CMM 521 is a 1 credit hour course that will delve into current genetic diagnostic methodologies and discuss future applications, developments, and challenges in the genetic diagnostic field. Topics covered in this course will include fundamental principles of cytogenetics, chromosome abnormalities, microarray, genetic screening assays, and variant interpretation and reporting. In addition, the course will explore new molecular methodologies, including whole genome and exome sequencing, bioinformatic analysis of DNA sequence data, and regulatory oversight of new DNA-based tests, and examine the ways in which these technological advances are shifting the practice of genetics and genomic medicine. The course will also instruct students on systematic use of lab testing in the diagnostic process for genetic conditions.
