GENETICS Code: 90016Curricular Year: 2nd Semester: 4th Compulsory Credits: 5.0 ECTS Lecturer(s): Prof Dr. Victor Diogo Alves 1. Contact hours: Lectures 28 Praticals 28 Total 56 2. Objectives: To acquire the basic principles and methodologies on molecular, cyto, mendelian and population genetics. To know the mechanisms that determine the transmission of hereditary traits. To know the molecular mechanisms of genetic diseases, including cancer. To provide a working knowledge of genetics of disease, including the principles of population genetics and of a broad range of inherited disorders in animals and the fundamental breed genetic diseases. To develop competence in obtaining, recording, and interpreting patient history and pedigree information. To provide an understanding of the methodologies used in cytogenetic and molecular genetics. To know how to interpret the normal and aberrant cariotype of domestic species. Use of OMIA, OMIM and other bibliographic resources to present a monographic work related with a genetic disease, gene therapy, genetic resistance, etc 3. Programme: Theoretical: Molecular basis of Normal and Pathological disorders. Molecular Genetics. Genetic Polymorhism. Genome Analysis. Genetic linkage analysis. Genealogy analysis. Cytogenetic basis of pathological disorders. Single gene disorders. Immunogenetics. Familial disorders not due to a single gene. Population Genetics. Practical: Segregation and Geneology analysis. Linkage Analysis. Evaluation of the carrier status in animal breeding. Paternity exclusion testing and animal identification. Cytogenetics. Manipulation of mammal genes. Population genetics. Seminars "Genetics and Disease". Monography on a genetically determined clinical disorder. The students must perform a genetic analysis of a clinical situation. Whenever possible, they must focus on the disorder’s molecular mechanisms including its physiopathology. A Seminar is organized with oral presentations. 4. Bibliography: NICHOLAS, F.W.

Assessment: The final grade is the summing up of a written final exam (weighted at 85%, which includes the theoretical and practical evaluation) with the Monograph (15%, evaluated in its written form and during its oral presentation).
