Learning objectives

By the end of this session, learners should be able to interpret pedigrees and identify clues hinting at autosomal dominant, recessive, and X-linked conditions.
Attendees will understand and apply laws of inheritance and the Hardy-Weinberg principle to genetic conditions and population genetics.
Participants will be trained to comprehend the concept of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs), how they occur, and their significance in gene variation and disease conditions.
Learners should be able to explain what aneuploidy is, its causes, and its effects, using real-life disease examples for illustration.
Engage understanding of genetic testing methods and interpret results to diagnose or predict potential genetic disorders. Learners will also understand ethical issues and limitations involved in genetic testing.
