    Study Notes

    Human Genetics Asynchronous Study Guide

    • Description: This guide assists self-directed learning for the Human Genetics unit. Minimum study time is 1.5 hours.

    • Expectations: Students should review prior knowledge of genetic principles, vocabulary, and terminology from Basic Biology.

    • Learning Outcomes: After this session, students should be able to:

      • Describe the basic principles of human genetics
      • Identify the impact of gene mutations
      • Recognize the relevance of human genetics in dentistry

    • Student Activities (Essential):

      • Pre-session reading: review assigned readings and/or download PDFs
      • Self-assessment: test knowledge on human genetics terminology and principles
      • View pre-recorded video presentation
      • Moodle Activity 1: Foresee challenges in providing oral care for a Treacher Collins or Down Syndrome patient (group discussion forum)
      • Moodle Activity 2: Complete an e-MCQ self-assessment quiz

    • Activities and Minimum Suggested Time:

      • Activities 1 & 2: 25 minutes
      • Activity 3: 40 minutes
      • Activity 4: 15 minutes
      • Activity 5: 10 minutes

    Reading List (Pre-session)

    • Waugh & Grant (2018): Chapter 17 on genetics (pp 475-486)
    • Hart & Hart (2016): Importance of human genetics in dental schools (pp 123-125)

    Further Guided Reading (Post-session)

    • Campos et al. (2022): Focuses on dental and health aspects of Treacher Collins and Down syndromes (Case report)

    Important Considerations

    • Genetic Conditions: The provided reading should consider the aetiology (cause) of the given condition, the impact of the gene variant on the patient's physical development, and the specific challenges involved in dental care for patients with these conditions. Particularly, consider issues arising after general anesthesia (GA) treatment.

    • Key Vocabulary: Students need to understand vocabulary relating to genetics such as translation, mutation, adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, replication, radiation, deletion, chromosomes, genes, mRNA, transcription, mitosis, meiosis, DNA, allele, genotype, phenotype, etc.

    • Student Activity (Moodle): In the Moodle activity sections, students should share foreseeable challenges for providing oral care for a patient with Treacher Collins or Down Syndrome. They should also complete a quiz on the studied topic.
