096:116 Introduction to Human Genetics
Organization of the human genome and basic principles of inheritance; overview of cells and development; structure and function of chromosomes and genes; genes in pedigrees and populations; implications of genetic variation on health. Credits: 3 s.h.

096:228 Advanced Practice Genetic Nursing I
Prerequisite: Human Genetics course strongly recommended
Focus is on advanced practice genetic nursing for individuals, families and populations who are at risk for genetic conditions or who have a condition with a genetic component. Clinical topics covered will allow the advanced practice nurse to apply genetic science to nursing assessments, interventions and outcomes. Genetic concepts to be covered in this course include chromosomal variations, Mendelian inheritance, non-traditional inheritance, application of molecular methodology to clinical & research
practice, preconception & prenatal healthcare in genetics, newborn screening for genetic conditions, dysmorphology examinations, developmental delay associated with genetic conditions and ethical, legal & social implications of genetic nursing. Credits: 3

096:230 Advanced Practice Genetic Nursing II
This is part II of the Advanced Practice Nursing Genetics courses. Concepts covered include mitochondrial inheritance, neuromuscular diseases, movement disorders, adult onset dementia, psychiatric disorders, hearing loss, inherited eye disease, connective tissue disorders, cancer genetics (genetic mechanisms & cancer syndromes), common adult onset disorders with complex inheritance (diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis, etc), public health & population genetics, pharmacogenetics and gene transfer & genetic therapies Credits: 3 s.h.

096:415 Genetic Nursing Research

Concepts in human genetics integrated with nursing research; methodological issues in study of populations with specific genetic problems; generation of testable hypotheses. Credits: 3 s.h.
