Pedigree analysis in human genetics -

In human genetics, the pedigree study provides a strong tool, which is utilised to trace the inheritance of a specific trait, abnormality or disease.

- wherein

 The given pedigree shows the autosomal recessive disorder. In this disorder, the individual inherit two mutated genes, one from each parent. This disorder is usually passed on by two carriers. Health is rarely affected, but individual have one mutated gene(recessive gene) and one normal gene(dominant gene) for the condition.
