Human development and genetics

1. Embryogenesis: programmed gene expression, tissue differentiation and morphogenesis, homeotic genes, and developmental regulation of gene expression.
   

2. Congenital abnormalities: principles, patterns of anomalies, dysmorphogenesis.
   

3. Principles of pedigree analysis, including inheritance patterns, occurrence and recurrence risk determination.
   

4. Population genetics: Hardy-Weinberg law, founder effects, mutation-selection equilibrium.

5. Genetic mechanisms: chromosomal abnormalities, mendelian inheritance, multifactorial diseases.
   

6. Clinical genetics, including genetic testing, prenatal diagnosis, newborn screening, genetic counseling/ethics, gene therapy.
