Wessex Cinical Genetics Service, Southampton, UK.


The evolution of molecular genetics has altered our understanding of many endocrine conditions. Some conditions have clear inheritance patterns and others have a more complex genetic influence.

Whilst genetic disorders have previously been considered to represent a small minority of the clinical workload, it is now apparent that many clinical conditions have some genetic influence.

The purpose of this session is to re-familiarise some of the key concepts of genetics. This will include inheritance patterns, genetic testing, understanding genetic risk, and the implications for families when a diagnosis of a genetic condition is made.
