Between 5 and 10% of cancers are hereditary. Several hereditary cancer syndromes are currently known to affect diverse families. The consequences of cancer in general are devastating; therefore, it is essential to provide knowledge of the different syndromes of hereditary neoplasms and to know the criteria for identifying those families susceptible of carrying mutations in genes with a high risk of predisposition to hereditary cancer.

A wide variety of hereditary renal and urological diseases are currently known. These diseases affect children and adults alike and, in some cases, are often diagnosed in childhood, but their final stage does not develop until maturity. Advances in molecular genetics have considerably changed the classification of hereditary glomerular or cystic kidney diseases.

If we were to quantify the impact of genetic diseases at all ages of life we would see that: in 50% of first trimester abortions a chromosomal alteration is found; 2-3% of newborns have a congenital abnormality and, of these, at least 50% are genetic in origin; in developed countries, they are responsible for 20-30% of pediatric hospital admissions and 40-50% of infant mortality. Pediatric genetics plays a fundamental role and, therefore, we intend to offer a detailed and comprehensive approach to the most common diseases in this area, as well as to teach about the different tools that currently exist to provide diagnostic assistance, such as dysmorphology, its management, usefulness and limitations. In addition to deepening in the different existing and developing algorithms for the selection of diagnostic techniques in pediatrics at the genetic level.

Postgraduate Diploma in Pediatric Nephrourological Diseases and Hereditary Cancer in Clinical Genetics.

Pediatric nephrourologic diseases and hereditary cancer are areas of clinical genetics that focus on the study of hereditary diseases of the renal, urologic and cancer systems that are transmitted from generation to generation.

Pediatric nephrourologic diseases are those that affect the renal and urinary system in children and adolescents. Examples include polycystic kidney disease, autosomal recessive kidney disease, and congenital renal failure.

Hereditary cancer refers to cancers that originate from genetic alterations inherited from parents. Examples include hereditary breast cancer, hereditary nonpolypoid colon cancer and Lynch syndrome.

Clinical genetics is responsible for studying and diagnosing these diseases, and provides genetic counseling to affected families. In the case of pediatric nephrourologic diseases, clinical genetics can help identify inherited diseases in families with a history of them, and assess the risk of disease recurrence in future pregnancies.

In the case of hereditary cancer, clinical genetics can help identify individuals at high risk of developing cancer due to a genetic predisposition, and provide advice in making decisions about preventive testing or medical interventions. Clinical genetics is fundamental in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of pediatric nephrourological diseases and hereditary cancer, improving the quality of life of affected patients and families.

TECH the world's largest digital university has a specialized academic program designed to provide students with strong clinical genetics skills and expertise in the diagnosis and management of nephrourological, pediatric and hereditary cancer disorders. Students will learn to apply advanced molecular diagnostic and genetic techniques for the diagnosis and treatment of inherited disorders and work in multidisciplinary teams to provide a comprehensive approach to patient care.
