About the course
This course is part of the RCOG Core Knowledge series.
The aim of this course is to provide information on common chromosomal conditions and single-gene disorders, including the genetic basis for the conditions, the phenotype of these disorders and the options available for prenatal diagnosis. It also includes some basic genetics to aid your understanding.
The course supports the Professional Identity 3: Clinical Expert capabilities in practice (CiP) component of the core curriculum and describes the skills needed to counsel women that may present as part of routine antenatal care.
When you have completed this course you will be able to:
- describe gene structure, function and modes of inheritance
- describe the genetic basis and phenotype of common aneuploidies and pathogenic copy number variants
- explain the genetic basis and clinical implications of common single gene disorders
- describe the options for invasive testing and genomic technologies in prenatal diagnosis
- explain the ethical and moral implications of genetic screening and diagnosis
- have an understanding of strategies to mitigate or prevent recurrence of prenatal genetic disorders
