Pedigree analysis is a method used to study the inheritance of genes in humans, including Mendelian disorders, by examining family medical history
Pedigree analysis involves collecting and interpreting a family's medical history to determine how a genetic condition is inherited.
Mendelian disorders are genetic disorders that are caused by changes in a single gene or abnormalities in the genome. They can be seen at birth and are sometimes inherited. Examples of Mendelian disorders include Huntington's disease and cystic fibrosis.
