Contents	Structural and functional organization of the human genome. DNA mutations and their correlation with: i) mode of inheritance; ii) diagnostic procedures; iii) pathogenetic role; iv) clinical manifestations. Classification of genetic diseases (Mendelian inheritance, multifactorial, chromosomal, and mitochondrial). Atypical inheritance. Imprinting defects. Taking care of the patient and/or the family with hereditary disease: "genetic counseling." General and specific criteria with reference to the different clinical conditions. Genetic counseling before and after genetic testing. The causal treatment of genetic diseases.
Reference texts	Genetica & Genomica nelle scienze mediche Authors: Strachan Tom, Goodship Judit, Chinnery Patrick Publisher: Zanichelli (1st Edition - 2016) Genetica umana e medica Authors: Neri Giovanni, Genuardi Maurizio Publisher: Edra Masson (3rd Edition - 2014) Genetica medica essenziale Authors: Dalla Piccola Bruno, Novelli Giuseppe Publisher: CIC (3rd Edition - 2012)
Educational objectives	To know the contents and methods of communication of the genetic counseling. To recognize the clinical manifestations of the major classes of genetic diseases with prenatal and post-natal care. To be able to correlate the clinical phenotype with the corresponding biological causal factors (phenotype-genotype correlation) with the following purposes: 1) setting of an analytical path, 2) identification of mutations responsible for the disease (etiologic diagnosis) and 3) interpretation of the results for diagnostic purposes, assessment of prognosis, and clinical follow-up, 4) risk assessment procreative and relatives of the proband (risk of recurrence), based on the model of inheritance; 5) planning of interventions aimed to prevention.
Prerequisites	The student must have argued with success the examination of "General Pathology". Furthermore, must have acquired a good research methodology.
Teaching methods	The teaching will be carried out with face-to-face and practical lessons that will cover the entire program of study.
Other information	Oral explanations will be coadiuvated by PowerPoint presentations. Summaries of these presentations, other additional didactic materials and possible updatings and communications, will be made available to students, in pdf format for download, through a dedicated homepage of the University of Perugia. During the whole Academic Year, students may request by e-mail personal reception to the teacher.
Learning verification modality	The examination will consist of a written test with multiple answer choices on the topics listed in the syllabus.
Extended program	- Introduction - Organization and changes in the human genome - Human Chromosomes and mechanisms of formation of chromosomal abnormalities - Methods for molecular analysis of nucleic acids - Mendelian inheritance and fundamental principles of medical genetics - Order of genes on chromosomes - Cytogenetics techniques - Multifactorial characters and epigenetic - Atypical mechanisms of inheritance - Chromosome number abnormalities - Chromosome structural abnormalities - Genetic counseling - Abnormalities of the sex chromosomes - Diseases by defects of genomic imprinting - Defects to the receptor fibroblasts growth factors - Hereditary diseases of the connective tissue - Disorders related to CFTR gene - Genetic defects of the sense organs - Inborn errors of metabolism - Disorders of sexual development - Genetics of epilepsy - Genetics of neuromuscular diseases - Genetic basis of neurodegenerative diseases (monofactorial) - Genetic basis of neurodegenerative diseases (multifactorial) - Congenital defects - Diseases by dynamic mutations - Genetics of mental retardation - Phacomatosis
