AimTo gain a general perspective on clinical genetics. To increase the understandability of resources related to clinical genetics by explaining basic concepts with examples. To provide perspective on genetic counseling by explaining Mendelian inheritance models with examples of common diseases. To show the basic principles and frequently used symbols in family tree drawings. To demonstrate nonmendelian inheritance models by touching on the types of genetic mutations. To understand the basic clinical findings of common chromosomal diseases. To explain the basic findings of Turner Syndrome. To reason about mutations and methods frequently studied in routine genetic laboratories. To classify genetic diseases by giving examples. To gain a general perspective on prenatal period screening tests, invasive interventions, non-invasive prenatal tests and genetic counseling.
