Learning Objectives
The course will focus the study of the molecular mechanisms whose alterations are the basis of human metabolic diseases. The course will also address the molecular techniques of genome typing for both the diagnosis of genetic diseases and the assessment of the genetic predisposition to metabolic diseases will be considered.

Learning Achievements (Dublin Descriptors)
- The student will demonstrate to have acquired the mastery of knowledge on metabolic diseases covered in the course.
- The student will demonstrate to be able to independently elabore the acquired notions to identify the molecular mechanisms responsible for the biochemical or metabolic diseases as well as their etiology.
- The student will demonstrate the ability to integrate and update his knowledge using the main bioinformatics tools.
- The student must also show the ability to clearly communicate the knowledge acquired and the logical conclusions arising from the study of the discipline.
