Dr.Natarajan S
Most of the times genetics is hardly understood- leave alone genetic testing results. Genetic testing in the diagnosis of ophthalmic disorders holds a very important place in patient counseling, deciding the treatment options and ultimately understanding the biology of the disease and correlating with the signs and symptoms. This course will review the basic concepts of molecular genetics including genes, genotype-phenotype correlation, types of genetic testing, and interpretation of results in ophthalmology, so that a busy clinical ophthalmologist would understand when and why a genetic test should be ordered and how it should be interpreted. The faculty is composed of clinicians and researchers with expertise in the genetics of ophthalmic disorders. Therefore, this course will enable the clinicians to understand the genetic results obtained through different platforms including chromosomal analysis, gene(s) or gene panel(s) through simple Sanger’s sequencing or SNP arrays, and NGS.
