FAQ

Questions about genogram templates

What is a medical genogram?

A family diagram annotated with medical history — diagnoses, age of onset, and cause of death — used in family medicine and genetic counseling to assess inherited risk.

How is it different from a pedigree chart?

A pedigree focuses narrowly on the inheritance of a single trait with standardized symbols. A medical genogram captures broader family medical history alongside relationships and psychosocial context.

Can it show multiple conditions at once?

Yes — use different colors or fill patterns per condition so a member affected by more than one is clearly marked.
