The aim of the human genetics teaching is to provide students with basic knowledge of the inheritance and variability in humans in the light of current developments in this field. Also, during this course, students will learn through an interdisciplinary approach, how to monitor the healthy and the sick and how to use the acquired knowledge in all medical disciplines during the studies.

To prepare for the practical and the final exam, students are advised to use recommended course materials, the tasks and questions from the lab workbook as well as those that have been done during the seminars.
Conditions for taking the FINAL TEST are:
- presence on the lectures and labs
- participation on seminars
