Medical Genetics and Molecular Biology (ROT_011)
About Study Course
Objective
The aim of the study course is to integrate the modern understanding and knowledge in molecular biology and medical genetics in diagnosis of orthodontic patients; to obtain the understanding about the role of genetics in development of dento-facial anomalies and application of the treatment method based on the understanding about the genetic background.
Learning outcomes
