Full Description
This exam focuses on the genetic pathways and underlying mechanisms associated with neurodegenerative diseases. Key emphasis will be placed on understanding the role of specific genetic mutations, particularly in conditions such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Huntington's disease.
The exploration of genetic influences on neurological disorders is critical for advancing diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Understanding this relationship contributes to the broader field of medical genetics by elucidating how genes impact neurological health.
Verbal assessment will gauge the student's ability to articulate the biological basis of neurodegenerative conditions, describe specific genetic alterations, and discuss potential implications for treatment and research.
Students should be prepared to reference current genetic studies and to articulate how these findings relate to the diagnosis and progression of neurodegenerative diseases.
Sample Questions
- What are the main genetic mutations implicated in Huntington's disease?
- How do genetic factors contribute to the progression of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis?
