Today we started chapter 4, on pedigree analysis.
We discussed the utility of using pedigree analysis to study human genetics. We had an overview of what the main six modes of inheritance are, and how they can be identified in a pedigree.
We discussed in detail the characteristics of the autosomal recessive mode of inheritance, and provided examples: cystic fibrosis and sickle cell anemia.
