GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MOLECULAR BASIS OF DISEASE

Courses


PATH 516 Molecular Basis of Disease: Human Genetic Diseases

Course Director: Byers
Quarters Offered: Spring (full quarter)
Credits: 3

The identification of mechanisms by which mutations occur and by which they cause clinical phenotypes, the technology for recognizing those changes, and the opportunity for treatment represent some of the greatest challenges to and opportunities for medical sciences in the coming decades. This course provides an introduction to the mechanisms of genetic disease, to the techniques and technologies used to dissect disease mechanisms, to some of the disorders themselves, and to evolving strategies for therapy. Covers genetic diseases not related to cancer or aging, including connective tissue diseases, hematopoiesis, skin diseases and muscular dystrophy, as well.
