Medical Genetics Study Workbook: Pedigrees, Testing Frameworks, and Case Mapping

Medical genetics is best learned through structured case work. This hands-on workbook walks you through pedigree analysis, testing frameworks, and case mapping with templates designed for repeated study. By the end of this course you will have a personal study workbook covering pedigree analysis skills, a genetic testing decision framework, structured case maps for common genetic conditions, and self-assessment exercises. What you will learn: - How to draw and interpret pedigrees including risk calculations - How to recognize inheritance patterns from clinical and family history - How to construct a genetic testing decision framework including indications and modalities - How to interpret common cytogenetic and molecular testing results conceptually - How to build case maps for common single-gene disorders - How to integrate population genetics and risk concepts into case discussions - How to design self-assessment exercises for retention The course is structured as a workbook. Each module covers one area, provides templates, walks through a filled example, and guides you to complete your own version. This course is written for medical and allied health students preparing for genetics examinations, genetic counseling students, and clinicians strengthening case reasoning. It is study material and does not replace formal training or supervised counseling practice. By the end you will have built a personal genetics study workbook organized for case-based review across the months that follow.
