    Overview

    Looking at genomic medicine using a clinical scenario approach

    This paper builds on topics covered in GEHM702 and takes a case-based approach to explore the evolving role of genomics in medicine. There is a focus on understanding genetic/genomic testing and screening approaches, and constructing and interpreting a genetic family history.
