Course syllabus and organization

Sezione: Bosisio Parini

Prerequisites for admission
The prerequisites required are knowledge of human anatomy and physiology
Assessment methods and Criteria
Written exam with multiple choice questions.
The assessment is expressed in thirtieths.
Genetica medica
Course syllabus
-The human genome: the normal karyotype and cytogenetics analyses;
-Abnormalities in chromosome number (aneuploidy) and structure (inversions, translocations, deletions, duplications) with associated diseases
-The human genome sequencing: rare variants (mutations) and genetic polymorphisms (SNPs, microsatellites) and methods for genetic analysis
-Mendelian patterns of inheritance of dominant, recessive and sex-linked genetic traits; chromosome X inactivation
-Mendelian inheritance of dynamic mutations and repeat sequence expansion disorders
-Mendelian inheritance with parental sex influence and imprinting disorders
-Multifactorial inheritance and complex diseases
Teaching methods
Lectures supported by PowerPoint presentations, made available to the students on the ARIEL website. Textbooks are merely recommended to help clarify concepts.
Teaching Resources
Slides of the lectures integrated with texts of your choice, optional:
-Korf -Irons - Genetica e Genomica Umane - Edi-Ermes
-Neri-Genuardi - Genetica Umana e Medica - Ed Edra

Neurologia
Course syllabus
Neurological examination,
Functions of the cerebral lobes and related pathologies: aphasia, apraxia, agnosia,
cranial nerve diseases,
cerebrovascular diseases,
traumatic and acquired brain injury,
CNS neoplasms,
Spinal cord diseases
Teaching methods
Lectures are supported by plastic material (skull, brain), video material (patients with major neurological pictures), radiological material (CT and brain MRI, three-dimensional reconstructions of malformation aspects), and pathological anatomy images. Use of clinical cases. Students have at their disposal a pantry with photographic material.
Teaching Resources
Handbook with photographic material.
