Overview
Key facts
The microcredential will also consider the patient and family perspective with respect to the role and impact of genomics, and provide an overview of the approaches used to identify the underlying genes involved.This microcredential will initially explore the clinical presentation, diagnosis, management and treatment of a range of common and rare inherited diseases. The principles and practice of medical genetics and genomics, and the management and treatment of patients and their families will be discussed. In addition, the role of genomics in a care pathway will be examined including the patient and family perspective.
University of Birmingham's Genomics of Common and Rare Inherited Diseases programme will teach you more about this topic.
Programme Structure
Courses include:
- Clinical presentation and course of a range of rare inherited and common diseases.
- Principles and practise of medical genetics; risk stratification and management of patients and their families, including cascade testing and clinical surveillance.
- Approaches and techniques used to identify genes responsible for common and rare inherited diseases (for example, candidate gene, positional mapping, genome wide association studies, exome/whole-genome sequencing, use of population data sets, and network biology).
- Basic statistics to aid interpretation of Genome Wide Associated Studies (GWAS) and analysis of populations.
- The NHS Genomic Medicine Service and National Genomic Research Library, and their data infrastructures.
- Selection of tractable cases with unmet diagnostic need, suitable for whole genome analysis.
