Book Description | وصف الكتاب

This third edition of “Genetics Module – Questions” is expertly crafted for undergraduate medical students, providing a comprehensive bank of Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) and Short Essay Questions (SEQs) that thoroughly cover the principles of medical genetics and molecular biology, with a strong emphasis on clinical relevance and problem-solving.

The book integrates content from:

• Cell Biology & Molecular Genetics (e.g., DNA replication, RNA transcription, protein synthesis, gene expression regulation, chromatin structure)

• Classical & Molecular Genetics (e.g., modes of inheritance, mutations, codon usage, epigenetic regulation)

• Chromosomal Aberrations (e.g., trisomy, monosomy, translocations, deletions, and cytogenetic techniques)

• Genetic Disorders (e.g., Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, sickle cell anemia, cystic fibrosis)

• Genetic Engineering & Gene Therapy (e.g., CRISPR, vectors, gene silencing, RNA interference)

• Oncogenetics & Molecular Biology of Cancer (e.g., tumor suppressor genes, proto-oncogenes, apoptosis, angiogenesis)

Each question is designed to simulate standard medical examination formats and includes clinical vignettes, data interpretation, and applied scenarios. This helps students not only recall theoretical knowledge but also apply it to diagnostic reasoning and treatment strategies.

Included Features:

• Fully updated to the 3rd Edition (2024)
