Medicine: Beginnings, Growth and Development- Molecular basis of congenital disorders

Introduction

This section is about how congenital (inherited) disorders arise through different molecular mechanisms.

Student Guide

Brief Study (1-15 minutes)

Start by looking at the online textbooks. These links will give you an introduction to congenital disorders and some images.

Detailed Study (15-30 minutes)

Next- more detailed online resources introduce key concepts and proteins related to congenital disorders. Will eventually include a link to a complete set of lecture slides on congenital disorders.

In Depth (+30 minutes)

Then- look at the molecular basis of congenital disorder.

Includes links to review articles and animations.
