47000. Human Genetics I. Mechanisms
of Human Disease
Ober, Millen, Lese-Martin, McNally, Carlson. This course covers classical and modern approaches to studying cytogenetic, Mendelian, and complex human diseases. Topics include chromosomal structure, human gene discovery for single gene and complex diseases, non-Mendelian inheritance, mouse models of human disease, cancer genetics, and human population genetics. The format includes lectures and student presentations.

46900. Human Genetics II. Human Variation and Disease
Di Rienzo, Hudson, Pritchard
This course focuses on principles of population genetics and complex trait mapping
as they apply to humans. It will include the discussion of genetic variation and disease mapping data.

47100. Introductory Statistical Genetics
Cox
This courses focuses on genetic models for complex human disorders and quantitative traits. Topics covered also include linkage and linkage disequilibrium mapping genetic models for complex traits, and the explicit and implicit assumptions of such models.
