Prerequisites and co-requisites
Successful mastering of the courses "Medical Biology", "Histology, Cytology and Embryology" and "Human Anatomy". Knowledge of basic theoretical foundations of molecular biology, biochemistry, cytology, embryology, cell biology. Understanding the principles of inheritance and variability of traits in humans.

Course content
The discipline "Fundamentals of Medical Genetics" is part of the educational program of professional training of specialists of the educational level "Master". The course covers the study of inheritance and 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 cancer, mental disorders, diseases of the cardiovascular system and more. The data on the connection of different polymorphic variants of the human genome with different pathological conditions, general information on the causes of individual sensitivity to drugs. Problems of appointment of individual schemes of drug therapy depending on a genotype of the patient are discussed.
