Genetics & You: Turner Syndrome and Klinefelter Syndrome

About this Course

Hello, welcome to our MOOC, Genetics & You: Turner syndrome and Klinefelter syndrome. This course is designed to help students to develop the understanding of the key concepts and pathogenesis of aneuploidy, clinical manifestations and the management of the Turner and Klinefelter syndrome. These are among the chromosomal numerical disorders that are able to survive well into adulthood. These will be delivered in 4 topics which are: (1) Aneuploidy : Introduction and Key concepts (2) Turner syndrome: Pathogenesis, Types, Clinical Features and Management (3) Klinefelter syndrome: Pathogenesis, Types, Clinical Features and Management (4) Key-points. Approximately 1 to 2 weeks should be spent for each core topic, thus the course would take in total about 4 to 8 weeks. It is self-paced so that you can manage your own learning time. By the end of this course you would be able to discuss the pathogenesis of aneuploidy, explain on Turner and Klinefelter syndromes in regards to their respective pathogenesis of genetic abnormalities, clinical features and management. It is good to have basic knowledge in human genetics, biology and computational skills prior to embarking the course. We greatly appreciate that all learners can give their full commitment during the course, even though it is online. We welcome interactions of learners by encouraging and congratulating each others' achievements through out the course.
