Learning outcomes
2. Understanding and knowledge of basic and clinical biomedical sciences, at a level sufficient to solve professional problems in the field of health care. 5. Collect complaints, life history and disease, assess the psychomotor and physical development of the patient, the state of organs and systems of the body, based on the results of laboratory and instrumental studies to assess information about the diagnosis (list 4), taking into account the patient's age. 7. Assign and analyze additional (mandatory and optional) methods of examination (laboratory, functional and / or instrumental) (according to list 4), patients with diseases of organs and systems of the body for differential diagnosis of diseases (list 2). 27. Fluent in the state and English languages, both orally and in writing, to discuss professional activities, research and projects. 28. Make effective decisions on health issues, assess the necessary resources, take into account social, economic and ethical implications
Form of study
Prerequisites and co-requisites
1. Successful completion of the courses "Medical Biology", "Histology, Cytology and Embryology" and "Human Anatomy". 2. Knowledge of basic theoretical basics of molecular biology, biochemistry, cytology, embryology, cell biology. 3. Understanding the principles of inheritance and the variability of traits in human. 4. The ability to independently use theoretical knowledge from the above disciplines to solve practical problems, work with electronic databases, scientific literature, the ability to perform systematic analysis.
Course content
The course covers the study of the peculiarities of inheritance and the variability of pathological traits in humans. The classification of hereditary diseases, molecular genetic mechanisms underlying the development of pathological conditions in the presence of chromosomal and genetic hereditary diseases are considered. Attention is paid to hereditary predisposition to sporadic and multifactorial diseases, such as oncological diseases, mental disorders, diseases of the cardiovascular system, etc. Data on the connection of various polymorphic variants of the human genome with various pathological conditions, general information on the causes of individual sensitivity to drugs are given. The problems of prescribing individual schemes of drug therapy depending on the patient's genotype are discussed. Special attention is paid to principles and approaches in the prevention and treatment of hereditary diseases, social and ethical aspects of medical genetics.
