Learning objectives

After watching this webinar, participants will know the answers to the following questions: 

• what is monogenic disease?
• what is polygenic disease?
• how should we interpret disease susceptibility of a rare genetic variant picked up in a family or in the general population? and
• how may the variant then be used?

Needs assessment and expected educational outcome

To understand the basics of Mendelian and non-Mendelian disease genetic susceptibility, as well as whether a genetic variant can cause disease in a patient.
