has completed the following course:
Genetic Inheritance for the Pregnancy Pathway: A Practical Guide for Clinicians
City St George's, University of London (formerly St George's)
This online course explored the principles of Mendelian and chromosome rearrangement inheritance patterns, drawing upon case examples relevant to the pregnancy pathways. The course highlighted some of the deviations from the main principles to understand why inheritance may differ in families. The course included a practical guide on how family history is obtained, and how it could be applied to support clinicians who may need to discuss genetic or inheritance concerns.
