Genetic Pedigree Maker

The tool follows NSGC Pedigree Standardization Task Force (Bennett 2008) conventions: squares for males, circles for females, filled symbols for affected individuals, half-filled for carriers, and a proband arrow for the index case. These are the clinical standards used in genetic counseling worldwide.

Yes. Describe the family history — which relatives had breast or ovarian cancer, known BRCA1 carrier status, ages at diagnosis, and deceased family members — and the AI generates a four-generation pedigree with all NSGC notations applied.

Yes. Genetics and nursing students use pedigree charts extensively for coursework and USMLE prep. You can describe any Mendelian inheritance pattern — autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, X-linked recessive — and receive a correctly drawn pedigree with the inheritance pattern visible.

Yes. Export as SVG or PNG for inclusion in clinical reports, genetic counseling session notes, or academic assignments.

Yes. You can describe cousin marriages or other consanguineous relationships and the AI will draw the double line between partners that indicates consanguinity in NSGC notation.
