DNA Pedigree

A DNA pedigree is a chart that traces the inheritance of specific genetic traits or conditions through a family. It combines traditional family tree diagrams with genetic testing results to show how genes pass from ancestors to descendants. This helps identify carriers of genetic conditions, understand inheritance patterns, and assess the risk of passing traits or diseases to future generations. Essentially, it provides a visual and genetic overview of a family's hereditary information, aiding medical and genetic counseling decisions.
