Lecture, chapter 04 - Pedigree analysis in human genetics



Pedigree showing inheritance of an autosomal dominant trait
___________________________________________

We covered most of chapter 4, on pedigree analysis.

We discussed the several inheritance modes that can be studied by pedigree analyses (autosomal dominant and recessive, X-linked dominant and recessive, Y-linked, and mitochondrial), and we introduced the concepts of penetrance and expressivity.
