Genetics by Tufts University

Medical genetics involves the application of genetic principles in the practice of medicine. Medical genetics encompasses diagnosis and treatment of genetic diseases, study of inheritance of diseases in families, mapping of disease genes to their chromosome locations, study of the molecular genetics and pathogenesis of inherited disorders, provision of genetic counseling for families, and recently, investigations of methods for gene therapy. Topics covered includes: Mendelian Genetics, Non-Mendelian Genetics, Clinical Cytogenetics, Dysmorphology, Genetic Counseling, Prenatal Diagnosis, Clinical DNA Diagnosis, Cancer Genetics, Problem Solving in Genetics, Legal and Ethical Issues in Human Genetics.
