Explanation

Pedigree analysis is the study of inheritance patterns for genetic traits in families over several generations. It involves constructing a diagram (pedigree) that shows the relationships among family members and the inheritance of the trait of interest. Pedigree analysis can be used to determine the mode of inheritance (autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, X-linked dominant, X-linked recessive) and to predict the probability of an individual inheriting the trait.
