This course aims to teach the fundamental components of human genetics, including the structure of the human genome and chromosomes, as well as the causes and inheritance patterns of genetic disorders. It aims to develop students' abilities to analyze genetic diseases based on principles of Mendelian and non-Mendelian inheritance, and to construct and interpret pedigrees. Additionally, the course provides an understanding of somatic cell mutations and the genetic mechanisms underlying cancer, enabling students to evaluate the relationship between human genetics and disease scientifically.

This course provides fundamental knowledge on the history of human genetics, the structure of the human genome and chromosomes, nondisjunction events, and the classification and analysis of related genetic disorders. It covers Mendelian and non-Mendelian inheritance patterns, including autosomal dominant/recessive, X-linked, and mitochondrial inheritance. Students will develop skills to identify inheritance patterns of genetic diseases and to perform and interpret pedigree analyses. Additionally, the course examines somatic mutations and the genetic mechanisms of cancer, with a focus on understanding the relationship between genetic material, chromosomal structure, and disease.
