Introduction
This unit extends the student's understanding of the concepts of genetics and molecular biology obtained in CXA261 Metabolic Biochemistry and CXA 315 Cell and Molecular Biochemistry. The unit focuses on medical molecular genetics, providing detailed study of genetic mutations and inheritance patterns of genetic diseases. Laboratory sessions will cover molecular diagnostic techniques applicable to the analysis of complex genetic disease traits.
