Full Description
This exam focuses on the genetic mechanisms responsible for hemoglobin disorders such as sickle cell disease and thalassemia. It examines mutations, gene regulation, and the impact of genetic variation on hemoglobin function.
Understanding the genetic basis of hemoglobin disorders is crucial for advancing diagnostic techniques and developing targeted therapies. This knowledge is integral to both clinical and research settings in medical genetics.
Participants will be tested on their ability to articulate the molecular genetics of hemoglobinopathies, including the identification of key mutations and their phenotypic consequences.
Students should be prepared to engage in detailed discussions regarding genetic testing methodologies and their implications for patient management.
Sample Questions
- What is the role of the HBB gene in sickle cell disease?
- How do regulatory mutations affect hemoglobin expression patterns?
