Medical Genetics Course
This course equips you with essential medical genetics knowledge for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Delve into DMD gene basics, interpret NGS and MLPA tests, apply ACMG guidelines, construct pedigrees, compute risks using Bayesian methods, and deliver ethical counselling for reproductive planning and multidisciplinary care to enhance diagnosis and family support.
