A family history can be used as genetic assessment tool to assess a person’s risk for certain diseases.

There are additional familial predisposition for depression, type 2 diabetes, thrombophilias, and coronary artery disease.

A pedigree should preferably display at least three generations and utilise standardised symbols to clearly identify people who have a particular diagnosis by marking them with those symbols.
