Common pedigree symbols
A pedigree is a graphic representation of a family history. Although a family history may
also be recorded in narrative or checklist format, the graphic pedigree allows providers to
easily appreciate relationships between affected and unaffected individuals and the number
of relatives with and without disease. The table below shows common pedigree symbols.
Pedigrees should also include the date the pedigree was taken or updated and the provider’s
name.
