GENC 631 Genetics in Medicine II

Genetics in Medicine II is a continuation of Genetics in Medicine I.   While the field of medical genetics has traditionally been one with a strong focus on pediatric and prenatal genetics, a shift in our understanding of adult disease, genetics across the lifespan, and personalized medicine have expanded this historical focus.  In addition to exploring single-gene inherited conditions, a major purpose of this class is to examine complex genetics disease, pharmacogenetics, adult genetic disease, and the use of genetic medicine in the primary care setting.
