Cancellation and Refund Policy
Once the course has started, enrollment cancellation will not be possible, and no refunds will be issued under any circumstances.
Theoretical-practical courses are designed as an indivisible training unit; therefore, no refunds will be granted once the course has begun, even if the practical component has not yet started.
Course Completion
A course will only be considered successfully completed when the student has fully completed the entire program. If the course includes a practical component, it will not be deemed completed unless that component has been fully carried out.
No certificate of completion or attendance will be issued if the student has not completed all the activities included in the course program. Under no circumstances will certificates be issued for partial completion of either the theoretical or practical parts of the course.

Description
In this course, we will define different chromosome abnormalities and genetic diseases to describe the incidence and origin. We will focus on the genetic aspects that have implications for human fertility and reproductive options in couples carrying genetic diseases and at risk for chromosomal abnormalities. Among the reproductive options, we will highlight the possibility of performing a biopsy on embryos obtained from in vitro fertilization and analyzing the genetic and / or chromosomal load to transfer healthy embryos to the maternal uterus within a preimplantation genetic testing program.
We will also study Genomic and Systems Medicine applied to Assisted Human Reproduction, focusing on the creation of predictive computational tools for diagnosis.
Skills
- Apply genetics knowledge in reproductive medicine.
- Identify the cytological description of the male and female gametes considering their cellular physiology.
- Analyse the relevance and characteristics of preimplantation genetic diagnosis techniques.
- Identify the techniques that allow the diagnosis and selection of the human embryo free of chromosomal and genetic abnormalities.
- Systematize the tasks that are developed in a preimplantation genetic diagnosis laboratory.
- Develop specialized knowledge of computer software tools that help to interpret results.
