Genetic Family History
Students will complete a Genetic Family History on an individual/patient of choice. The individual/patient
should have a genetic disorder/condition. If there is a genetic disorder/condition within the student’s family that would meet the objective of this assignment, the student must discuss and obtain permission from the professor.
If there is a question about the individual/patient choice, clarify with the professor. The Genetic Family
History
Form is available in the Modules/Week 4.
After obtaining a complete Genetic Family History, students will create a three-generation family
pedigree.
Begin with the paternal and maternal grandparents and construct a pedigree of the individual/patient’s
family using the appropriate symbols and connections. Include parental siblings and the patient’s siblings.
Include a grid/legend explaining the symbols used. Tools for the creation of the pedigree are found in the
Modules/Week
- Students may also choose to use Microsoft Word or a similar program of the student’s choice. If
students have difficulty with the program, neatly hand drawn the pedigree, scan to file, and attached as an
appendix in an extreme case. If there are any concerns using the website, please contact the professor
