Abstract
Family pedigrees allow for a more thorough understanding of human genetic disorders. They are used to help establish patterns of inheritance and to identify individuals at risk of disease. Pedigree analysis can be helpful in identifying genetic disorders that demonstrate mechanisms such autosomal dominant or recessive inheritance, X-linked inheritance, and anticipation.
