BIOLOGY AND GENETICS<br />

• Molecular methods in laboratory medicine and identification <strong>of</strong> disease<br />

genes<br />

• Paternity and person identification using molecular genetic methods.<br />

To evaluate <strong>the</strong> knowledge acquired by <strong>the</strong> students during practicums, <strong>the</strong>y<br />

passed written tests after <strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong> subsequent part . Successful passing <strong>of</strong><br />

• The molecular basis <strong>of</strong> human genetics<br />

• Human chromosomes<br />

• Chromosome aberrations<br />

• Formal genetics: mendelian diseases<br />

• Mitochondrial diseases<br />

• Multifactorial inheritance and disease<br />
