Description
Taking and drawing a family history during a patient consultation can be a vital first step in identifying a known inherited condition or genomic links within a family that warrant further investigation. The information in this visual representation – the genetic pedigree – can help to refine diagnosis, reveal patterns of inheritance, and inform testing, treatment and management.
This handy tool acts as both a template for creating a patient’s genetic family history and a reminder of the symbols, lines and information to include. Made from sturdy 1mm plastic, it can be a permanent part of your clinical and/or educational toolkit.
