hi friends welcome to biologyexams4u.com. Today the the topic of our discussion is understanding pedigree
analysis we will be discussing what is pedigree chart? what are the different
inheritance pattern and how can we easily solve pedigree analysis problems?
if you are new to this channel please subscribe and support this channel.
please watch till the end for complete understanding. Let's begin starting with
why we need a pedigree chart? A pedigree chart is a diagrammatic representation
that s
hows the presence or absence of a trait a character or a disorder in a
family over several generations. Genetic counselors use this to track genetic
diseases. Let's begin with some important symbols to understand pedigree chart,
this circle represent female, square represents male if it is filled that
indicates affected individuals, a horizontal line between male and female
indicates parents unrelated, two lines horizontal lines indicates related
patterns or consanguineous parents and these repr
esent the offsprings 1 2 3 4
starting from eldest to the youngest. so these are the major symbols used in
pedigree chart. let's begin with some background concepts for better
understanding and also for solving pedigree analysis problems in an easier
way. Affected individuals is denoted in filled square or circle. suppose the
allele is D, then there are two probabilities it can be a homozygote like
this capital D capital D or small d small d, may be affected, the second
possibility is hetero zygo
te capital D small d and there are two possibilities
sometimes maybe affected sometimes it'd become a carrier depending on the nature
of the allele, if it is a dominant allele then this heterozygote condition, that
person will be affected if it is a recessive
allele, that person will become a carrier. this is the first concept. the
second concept this is very important in solving problems related to sex-linked
inheritance. Point number one is in the case of males, the X chromosome is
received fr
om the mother and Y chromosome is received from the father
where as in the case of females, one of the X chromosome is received from the
father and one of the X chromosome is received from the mother. ..... this
understanding is very important for solving problems related to sex-linked
inheritance. Now starting with the simplest inheritance pattern and these
are wonderful pictures for easy understanding and this is from NIH and I
have given the link and I will be dropping the link in the descrip
tion
also for your reference. so in the case of Y linked inheritance, Y
chromosome as it is present only in males it is passed from father to son.
affected men passed the trait to all sons. you can see the Son is affected and
this Son is also affected as this y chromosome is transferred from father to
the son, all sons. Daughters are not affected as daughters doesn't havef Y
chromosome. The trait doesn't skip generations.
Examples include hairy ears retinitis pigmentosa etc Now let us see a pedi
gree
chart for better understanding so this is a typical pedigree chart of y-linked
inheritance as you can see this filled indicates that this father is affected
and you can see in this, next generation also all the males are affected this
male 4 is affected and this male 8 is affected from that also in the next
generation also this 10 and 11 is affected. So the typical characteristics
of Y linked inheritance are point number 1, all males are affected, point number 2
only males are affected as
you can see daughters are not affected at all. point
number 3 these type of inheritance doesn't skip generations, as you can see
this in this generation first generation second generation also there is
individuals with a disorder and in the third generation also there is
individuals with that disorder. Hope this is fine. now moving into the second
pattern that is X linked dominant traits, x-linked dominant traits are more
in females than males as you know there are two x chromosomes in females.
let's
take the case one. if father is affected, then father will pass that
affected x chromosomes to all daughters so as it is a dominant trait all
daughters will get affected also. There is no male-to-male transmission as this
father gives only the Y chromosome to the sons. so in the case of x-linked
dominant trait if the father is affected all daughters become affected,
as the X chromosome which is dominant the disorder is dominant is received
from the father. Case number two, if mother is aff
ected .. if mother is
affected both daughters and sons are affected, often 50% chance as you can see
this is a dominant allele so one of the X chromosome, the chance of getting is
50% if there are 4 children. This trait also as it is dominant doesn't skip
generations. Examples include fragile X syndrome
so in these son as you can see this affected X chromosome is transferred
from the mother and this Y chromosome from the father, so here there is one
chromosome which is not affected and that is t
ransferred to this unaffected
son, therefore that particular son is not affected. Now let us see the pedigree
chart as you can see in X-linked dominant trait, affected mother of the
4 offspring's 50% are affected it can both males and females are affected, if
the mother is affected. In the case of males, as you can see this is the
affected father, all daughters are affected as you can see 8 and 10
both daughters are affected indicating that this is an X linked dominant
trait. so point number on
e if the father is affected all daughters will also get
affected, if the mother is affected 50% of the progenies will be affected. Both
males and females has the same chance of getting the disorder. Moving into the
third pattern that is X-linked recessive disorder it is more in males
than females. if the father is affected
there will be carrier daughters, as you can see one of the x-chromosome will be
transferred to this daughter and other X chromosome one of the X chromosome is
transferred to t
his daughter, so daughter's become carriers there is no
male-to-male transmission as father only passes y chromosome to the sons. if
mother is a carrier, the second option is if mother is a carrier then one by four
of the children gets affected and only males are affected, whereas the daughter
becomes the carrier as this is a recessive trait. In the case of females,
there are two x chromosomes so a recessive trait will not express in
heterozygous condition in females, so females become carriers
whereas in the
case of son or males there is only single X chromosome if that recessive X
chromosome is received that by that particular person or particular child
that child gets affected. then the third possibility, mother is affected as a
recessive disorder it should be small d small d or small x small x, then all sons
becomes affected as son will receive the X chromosome from the mother so all sons
get affected. here as it is a recessive trait
there are carriers in between therefore the tra
it skips one or more generations. Examples include hemophilia, Fabry
disease etc. Let's look into a pedigree chart of x-linked recessive trait, as you
can see this is the affected mother affected mother then as you can see for
offsprings, 4 5 6 & 7 and all males are affected, all sons are
affected. then here you can see carrier mother, then out of the four
offsprings one male is affected so one out of four gets the disorder. here also
you can see in this pattern, males are more affected, as male
s are having a
single X chromosome therefore recessive trait will express easily as there is
only one X chromosome. If both the parents has the disorder then all the
children will get the disorder. Now moving into fourth, that is autosomal
dominant disorder, so previously one two three we have discussed disorders that
is happening in sex chromosomes that is x and y chromosomes so such disorders
are called as sex-linked inheritance or sex linked disorders where mutation
occurs in sex chromosomes.
Now autosomal dominant disorders, autosomal disorders
are disorders that is happening in all chromosomes other than sex chromosomes.
In the case of autosomal dominant disorder ,affected children are born to
affected parents. so this particular father is... this father is affected so the
chance is both the males and females are affected in equal frequency and 50%
children affected from affected parents. Of the four offsprings two will be
getting the disease. here also as it is a dominant disorde
r this trait doesn't
skip generations. Examples include Huntington disease
Marfan syndrome, polydactyly neurofibromatosis type 1, achondroplasia etc
so as you can see if the parents are heterozygous then as
this is a dominant trait out of four three will be affected and one will
remain unaffected. Let's take a pedigree chart for better
understanding, so this is a typical of autosomal dominant trait as you can see
affected parents then the chance is three out of four will be affected. here
also o
ut of three, two are affected. If both parents are affected as it is a
dominant trait if there are four offsprings, 75% will be affected. If
one parent is affected, then 50% of the offsprings will get the disorder as you
can see out of two offsprings one is affected and one is unaffected and this
will not skip generation. These ten eleven and twelve are not affected as the
parents are not affected. Let me repeat once more, in the case of
autosomal dominant trait if both parents are affected, th
ree out of four of the
offsprings will get the disorder. If one of the parent is affected, then 50% of
the offspring will get the disorder. Only affected parents give rise to affected
offsprings. Moving into the next one and the final one that is autosomal
recessive disorder, here also affected children are born to affected or carrier
parent. Both males and females are having equal chance of getting this disorder. if
both parents are carriers, this take this case autosomal recessive, if both par
ents
are carriers, then one out of four will get the disorder.
one out of four will get the disorder this is a recessive trait both the
recessive alleles should come together. Maybe take the case as small d small d,
the trait often skip generation as it is a recessive trait, there are carriers
in between. These autosomal recessive disorders are mostly seen in progeny of
related individuals or consanguineous mating. Example include cystic
fibrosis sickle-cell disease etc here also as you can see,
this is heterozygous
carrier, the father is also heterozygous carrier then one will be affected and
two will be carriers and one will be unaffected. In total, 25 percent of the
offspring gets the disorder. Now let's take a pedigree chart this is an
autosomal recessive pedigree chart as you can see this father is affected as
it is a recessive trait the individuals in this generation there is no disorder
indicating a recessive trait. One parent is affected, then one by fourth, out of
one, two, th
ree, nine, ten and twelve, three offspring one is affected. If both are
affected, as this is a recessive trait if both parents are affected all the
offsprings will also get the disorder. here you can see this type of
inheritance pattern often skips generation, in first generation there is
an affected individual and here there is.. the offsprings are fine. then in the next
generation there may be carriers in the next generation
then again comes offsprings with the disease...
that indicates that t
his is an autosomal recessive trait. hope you are fine with this
concept. Just want to add one more point autosomal recessive traits usually
appear equally in males and females that we have discussed, there may be
unaffected individuals, as this one one or two may be a carrier that can lead
may be heterozygous this is heterozygous carrier that lead to the disease in this
generation, then the chance of getting this autosomal recessive trait is often
with progenies of related individuals these two
horizontal lines indicates
related marriage or consanguineous marriage then the chance of autosomal recessive
traits are high as you can see, then the reappearance of affected individuals... so
it often skips generation in the second generation .... there are no affected
individual, then there may be carrier often there will be carriers, this three
and four will definitely be a carrier and that lead to the reappearance of
affected individuals in the next generation..
this 2 is affected. Hope yo
u are fine with these concepts thank you so much

Dear All Hope You are fine This video is made as per the comment of my dear student Bharath Raj. Hope this will help everyone. A detailed video on Pedigree Analysis, Inheritance pattern and tricks to solve pedigree problems. Thank you so much:) Stay Safe & Enjoy Understanding Biology
Thank you so much for this video. My genetics professor was constantly leaving these details out and having us run circles around her pedigrees. Again thank you once more so much for this well-composed informative video.
This was extremely helpful, thank you so much! 🙌🏾
Easy to understand Sir. Thank you very much🙏🙏
Hello. I love all of your channel's videos. I love how it is explained very well. Can we please have or share your powerpoint presentation for us? For my reporting huhuu. Kindly help this poor medical student pleaseeee
The video helps me a lot. Can we have your powerpoint presentation sir?
Just saved me
Sir..I am having one doubt... regarding about the x-linked dominant trait ...if the x Chromosome in father is get affected and x Chromosome from mother ... results in daughter...then the daughter should be a carrier because the affected x and normal x will compensate...it will not express the trait ...then how you are saying that the daughter will get affected
I also messgae on facebook huhuhu. Please kindly share your powerpoint huhuhu
