HUGEN 2031Chromosomes and Human DiseasesSignificant advances of human cytogenetic study as they pertain to clinical, familial, and population problems.
HUGEN 2032Genetic TechniquesThe purpose of this course is to familiarize graduate students and fellows in Human Genetics and Genetic Counseling with genetic techniques "hands-on."
HUGEN 2033Quantitative GeneticsQuantitative aspects of the genetic epidemiology of human diseases.
HUGEN 2034Introduction to Biochemical and Molecular GeneticsThe goal of this course is to provide students with an understanding of the molecular and biochemical genetic approaches to understanding genetically determined susceptibility to common disease.
HUGEN 2035Principles of Genetic CounselingBasic didactic training in genetic counseling with particular reference to its applications in public health programs.
HUGEN 2036Genetic Counseling InternshipPractical application of the fundamentals of genetic counseling. Observation of and participation in at least 50 counseling sessions at various clinics. Involves literature review and searches pertinent to each patient. Also includes weekly case presentations and lectures.
HUGEN 2036 - springGenetic Counseling Internship Spring 2007Practical application of the fundamentals of genetic counseling. Observation of and participation in at least 50 counseling sessions at various clinics. Involves literature review and searches pertinent to each patient. Also includes weekly case presentations and lectures.
HUGEN 2038Intervention Skills for Genetic CounselorsTheories of intervention, skill development, and application to genetic counseling. Sensitizes students to the ethical dilemmas faced by affected families and health care providers.
HUGEN 2039Risk AnalysisThis course covers material on risk prediction for Mendelian genetic diseases that is necessary for practicing genetic counselors. It is geared toward both the skills needed in clincial practice and the skills needed to pass the board exam. Four major topics are covered: risk prediction for dominant diseases, risk prediction for recessive diseases, risk prediction for X-linked diseases, and risk prediction using linked markers. At the end of the course students should be able to solve classical types of risk prediction problems in each of these areas. They should also understand the limitations of these calculation methods, and should be able to recognize problems that they do not have the tools to solve.
