Pedigree
This Pedigree Tool is designed to assist you in creating a pedigree of your family. The process is easy-- just click the box below and follow the step by step instructions to begin.
Please note that using a desktop, tablet, or other device with a larger screen is preferable to a smartphone for building and viewing your pedigree.
Build Your Family Tree
A pedigree is a diagram that shows how people are related to one another. By adding important information about each of your relatives, you are creating your family history. As you complete the personal details about each of the relatives you add, they will show up on your diagram. You will be asked to add information about each person, such as their health status, age and other details.
When you complete your pedigree you will be able to share it with your health care provider. The information will assist him or her in evaluating if you are at increased risk for common or rare diseases, and if you should have any further evaluations or see a genetic counselor.
Record you family's health
Being knowledgeable about your relatives' medical status helps you understand your own risk.
View your family's health
