Making a Pedigree Chart Making a Pedigree Chart A family history of a genetic condition Quick Review 1. Genotype = a description of genes (two alleles) inherited for a particular trait 2. Dominant genes are usually represented by: a capital letter 3. Lower case letters are used for: the recessive allele. 4. For every trait, you get an _______froma allele each parent. 5. The genes you inherit are determined ____________.randomly Making a Pedigree Chart • Pedigree charts are made to chart family history and see how traits are passed • A genetic counsellor will use pedigree charts to help determine the distribution of a disease in an affected family Symbols • Shade individuals that have the trait you’re studying • Boys = squares (Lucy always calls Charlie Brown a ‘block head’) • Girls = circles • Married-connected at side • Siblings-connected at TOP not at the side (hopefully not siblings AND married) • Oldest child-to the left • Question-if shaded individuals in this pedigree have blue eyes, what is the GENOTYPE of the parents? Other • Divorced, separated • Deceased • Identical twins • Fraternal twins Organizing the pedigree chart Generations are identified by Roman numerals I II III IV Organizing the pedigree chart • Individuals in each generation are identified by Arabic numerals numbered from the left • Therefore the affected individuals are II3, IV2 and IV3 I 3 4 5 6 7 1 2 II III IV Flipnob Dimples • This is the story of Grandma and Grandpa Flipnob, and their clan! They were married way back in 1933, and have been just like newlyweds ever since. Flipnob Dimples pg 2 • From their union, 4 individuals were created. Elizabeth, the eldest, was born in 1935. Fred soon followed in 1936. In 1939 Michelle was brought into this world. Mickey (a surprise to the whole family) was the baby of the family, not being born until 1950. Flipnob Dimples pg 3 • Elizabeth fell in love at a young age, and wed her high school sweetheart, David, in 1954. From this marriage, two bundles of joy came about (at the same time): • John and Sonny - 1955 (twins)! Flipnob Dimples pg 4 • It took Fred a little longer to find his soul mate. Finally in 1970, Fred found the woman of his dreams, Wilma, and they were married. Since they married so late in life, they only brought one new person into this world: • Barney - 1972 Flipnob Dimples pg 5 • Michelle was a hard working woman, and never found time in her schedule for love. She led a very productive and fulfilling life, but she never did marry and have children. • Answer the following questions regarding your pedigree: • 1. Who are the inlaws? • 2. What is the relationship between the people in the third generation? • Now that you have your pedigree chart together, shade the appropriate circles and squared from the information to follow. Remember that individuals who possess the RECESSIVE trait are to be filled in. Those individuals not filled in possess at least one dominant trait. • Flipnob Dimples From their union, 4 individuals were created. Elizabeth, the eldest, was born in 1935.

After a long string of girlfriends, he finally chose Monica to spend the rest of his life with. They were wed in 1975 and brought two girls into this world: • Krista - 1977 • Janet - 1979 Flipnob Dimples Make sure you have the Generations marked and the indivduals numbered. 1. Who are the in-laws? 2. What is the relationship between the people in the third generation? Flipnob Dimples • Now that you have your pedigree chart together, shade the appropriate circles and squared from the information to follow.

Flipnob Dimples • Not having freckles is a recessive trait. • Grandpa Flipnob did not have freckles, but his beautiful bride did. • Fred and Michelle were the only two of their siblings to have freckles. • Of the grandchildren, the twins did not have freckles, and neither did Barney, but the two girls did. • GUIDE • STEP 1 • Assign two recessive genes to any person on the pedigree whose symbol is shaded. Small letters are written below the person s symbol. • GUIDE • STEP 2 • Assign one dominant gene to any person on the pedigree whose symbol is unshaded. A capital letter is written below the person s symbol. Add a short black line next to the capital letter. • GUIDE • STEP 3 • Use the information given to you to determine the second alleles for each person with the dominant phenotype. Autosomal – Approx. 50/50 affected http://www.slideshare.net/aus_autarch/pedigree-charts- powerpoint-presentation Dominant– One parent has the disorder Recessive – Neither parent needs to have the disorder they can be heterozygous What’s going on? Shaded = blue eyes • 1 and 2 split after having 4, 2 then had kids with 3 and split with her too after 5-9 were born • Genotypes of 1, 4,7? • Genotypes of 2 & 3? • Genotypes of 5,6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12? Make your own pedigree • Using your own family, make your own pedigree chart • Must at LEAST include grandparents, parents, & your generation • Pick one easy dominant or recessive trait and shade individuals that have it. You can guess who has it if you don’t know for sure. (Don’t pick a trait that EVERYONE in your family has) • Label yourself, grandparents, cousins, etc • Put a key on the pedigree so I know what shaded means. Ex.- shaded people have widow’s peak OR…you may create a pedigree chart for a fictional family of your choice. For example, a family in a book you read or a movie you have seen (ex: Twilight series, Harry Potter, etc) .

HCM patients bearing similar sarcomeric mutations display variable clinical outcomes, implying the involvement of gene modifiers that regulate disease progression. As individuals exhibiting mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) present cardiac phenotypes, the mitochondrial genome is a promising candidate to harbor gene modifiers of HCM. Herein, we sequenced the mtDNA of isogenic pluripotent stem cell-cardiomyocyte models of HCM focusing on two sarcomeric mutations.

  • Pedigree Charts
    3.4 Inheritance Essential idea: The inheritance of genes follows patterns. The patterns that genes and the phenotypes they generate can be mapped using pedigree charts. The image show a small section of a pedigree chart that maps the inheritance of hair colour in an extended family over several generations. Analysis of pedigree charts enables us to the nature of the inheritance; controlled by dominant or recessive alleles? linked to the sex chromosomes? controlled by multiple genes or a single gene? By Chris Paine http://www.bioknowledgy.info/ http://www.indiana.edu/~oso/lessons/Genetics/RealColors.html Understandings Statement Guidance 3.4.U1 Mendel discovered the principles of inheritance with experiments in which large numbers of pea plants were crossed. 3.4.U2 Gametes are haploid so contain only one allele of each gene. 3.4.U3 The two alleles of each gene separate into different haploid daughter nuclei during meiosis. 3.4.U4 Fusion of gametes results in diploid zygotes with two alleles of each gene that may be the same allele or different alleles. 3.4.U5 Dominant alleles mask the effects of recessive alleles but co-dominant alleles have joint effects. 3.4.U6 Many genetic diseases in humans are due to recessive alleles of autosomal genes, although some genetic diseases are due to dominant or co-dominant alleles. 3.4.U7 Some genetic diseases are sex-linked. The pattern of Alleles carried on X chromosomes should be inheritance is different with sex-linked genes due to shown as superscript letters on an upper case X, their location on sex chromosomes.

  • Comments to Genealogical Charts and Records
    Comments to genealogical charts and records. There are many things that could be included in charts and records like these. I have chosen to limit the information as most of us will use these carts for note-taking only, while the storing and organizing of the data are done by some sort of digital solution. Four generation pedigree chart If you use this chart for your first steps into genealogy, I recommend that you get familiarized with genealogical numbering systems. Sufficient for these charts is the “Ahnentafel system” which is a genealogical numbering system for listing a person's direct ancestors in a fixed sequence of ascent. The subject (proband or progenitor) of the ahnentafel (pedigree chart) is listed as No. 1, the subject's father as No. 2 and the mother as No. 3, the paternal grandparents as No. 4 and No. 5 and the maternal grandparents as No. 6 and No. 7, and so on, back through the generations. This means the father always has the number twice the number of the child. The mother’s number is twice the number + 1 of the child. Family group record In the “Family group record” I have added a section for additional information. If the number of children or sources exceed what is made room for in the form, I suggest you use this section. If your source is a document you possess, the space for “Archive” in the “Family group sheet” can be used to record where you keep this document (binder no./drawer no./etc). Saving the records When you fill inn and save these records on your computer, you should give each record a unique name relevant to the content of that particular chart.

    Using Collateral Lines for Family History Research Cindy Webb 503-888-0923 [email protected] What is a collateral line? A brother, sister, or cousin of your direct ancestor Types of Family Lines: . Lineal (names that fit on your pedigree chart) . Collateral (ancestor’s siblings and cousins) . Allied (those that marry into the family) Why don’t (won’t) we use collateral lines? Only direct line required Takes more time Takes more work I don’t want to Why we should use collateral lines? . Get a different perspective . Find information on family you might not otherwise find . Because they may be easier to trace . They may have left records behind . Locate living cousins Following the collateral relatives of your ancestor may be the easiest way to find your grandparent. Think of finding your ancestor not only as an individual, but also with a family. It was very common for generations of a family to live together, to live next to each other, and to migrate to the same area. Many times a single family member might move first, and then send for the rest of the family. However it happens, look for other family members living in the same general area. One of the easiest ways to find the siblings of your ancestor is to search census records. Try to trace each family member in three censuses (or more). Take notice of how their name may change, and watch for their occupation, birthplace, neighbors, location, spouse, spouse’s family, etc. It’s often been said to make copies of the three pages before and after your family’s listing so you can study those names also.

  • 3.3.2 Pedigrees and Sex-Linked Traits Objectives
    3.3.2 PEDIGREES AND SEX-LINKED TRAITS OBJECTIVES Use a pedigree to interpret patterns of inheritance within a family. Explain why X-linked traits are more often expressed in males. List three traits that are only carried on sex chromosomes. Pedigree Basics It is important to study how the trait is passed from one generation to the next. A pedigree chart, which shows the relationships within a family, helps geneticists do so. Symbols: Squares- males Circles- females Completely shaded in- affected Half shaded in- carrier Not shaded- not affected Horizontal line- marriage Vertical Lines- children A circle represents A square represents a female. a male. A horizontal line connecting A vertical line and a a male and female bracket connect the represents a marriage. parents to their children. A half-shaded circle or square indicates that a person is a carrier of the trait. A circle or square that is not shaded indicates that a A completely person neither shaded circle or expresses the trait square indicates nor is a carrier of that a person the trait. expresses the trait. A black X represents death of the individual. Pedigree for Attached Earlobes How many males have attached earlobes? Label each individual’s genotype. Can you determine if the trait for attached earlobes is dominant or recessive from this pedigree? Explain your answer. Answer to Second Question Sex Linked Inheritance X chromosome is always female Y chromosome is always male XXY, XY represents males Sex-linked trait Trait that is carried on the X chromosome Y chromosome is unaffected Sex-linked traits can be dominant or recessive Dominant- has one or both dominant alleles Recessive- has both recessive alleles Sex-Linked Traits Remember that humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes and that the 23rd pair are the sex chromosomes.

    Using the Pedigree Chart - - Handout Gail Burk, © April, 2011 Introduction 1. Start with yourself and work backwards 2. Work from what you know to what you don’t yet know 3. The Pedigree Chart shows direct ancestors only 4. Select among various formats Formatting Considerations 1. Use maiden names for women 2. List dates to avoid confusion a. day - - month (spelled out) - - year (four-digit number) Beginning to Search for Clues 1. Look for vital statistical documents for family members 2. Be aware of nicknames - - they may differ substantially from formal given names 3. Remember that our ancestors may use less common spellings of common names 4. Be aware that our ancestors’ names may have been misspelled on documents 5. Use all capital letters for surnames, and lower case letters for first and middle names a. To avoid confusion in identifying surnames 6. Always look at changes in geography for clues about family migrations a. Speculate about why a family might have relocated - - jobs, school, to follow other family members 7. Always consider what world events were occurring during an ancestor’s lifetime a. Clue to possible military service or family migration 8. Look at unusual first and middle names for possible clues to ethnic ancestry Additional Things to Consider 1. Look at unusual given names for possible clues to surnames of earlier ancestors; e.g., mother’s or grandmother’s maiden name used as a first name a.

  • Name Pedigree Chart Worksheets
    Name _________________________________ Pedigree Chart Worksheets Background information Pedigree charts are very important because they help scientists understand the genetic patterns of diseases. It is important to be able to interpret pedigree charts in order to learn the pattern of a disease or condition. Using a pedigree chart you can tell if the disease or condition is autosomal, X-linked, carrier, dominant, or recessive. Before you start define the following terms: Autosomal – trait carried on one of the other 44 chromosomes (NOT one of the sex chromosomes) X-linked – trait carried on one of the sex chromosomes (X chromosome usually because it is larger) – Mostly affect males because they inherit only one copy of the X-chromosome while females inherit 2 copies Carrier – someone who carried one recessive copy of a trait. They don’t express the trait but can pass it on to an offspring Dominant – “stronger” of the alleles, covers up the recessive trait, only need to inherit one to express the trait Recessive – “weaker” of the alleles, must inherit 2 recessive alleles Review the following pedigree symbols: - color in the carrier males and females halfway before running copies! Unaffected Male Affected Male Carrier Male Unaffected Female Affected Female Carrier Female Activity: 1. First you need to become comfortable in reading and making a pedigree chart. Complete the following examples a. How can you tell if a couple is in a child-bearing relationship on a pedigree? Write a description and draw an example. They are joined by a horizontal line b. How can you tell if a couple has had children on a pedigree? Write a description and draw an example.
