About the Medical History Genogram
This medical history genogram offers a focused way to place documented health conditions alongside family relationships across three generational rows.
The example contains five people. It begins with the maternal grandmother, followed by Linda and Michael’s marriage, with Sarah and David positioned in the next row. Michael is marked deceased, keeping vital status visible alongside the condition information.
The legend lists hypertension, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and breast cancer. Its displayed totals record three instances of hypertension and one instance each of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and breast cancer. Colored ring segments allow more than one recorded condition to appear around a person’s standard genogram symbol.
- Maps a focused maternal family branch across three rows
- Shows one marriage and one deceased family member
- Tracks four medical-history categories
- Demonstrates how multiple conditions can be displayed on one person
Sarah and David extend the family into the third generational row, creating a compact example that users can quickly personalize with their own relatives and medical-history details.

- During intake or family health-history collection for a focused family branch.
- For pre-visit preparation, referral discussions, or care-team review.
- When recording several conditions for the same relative.
- As a starting canvas that can expand when additional relatives or clinical details become relevant.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can one family member have several condition markers?
Yes. Multiple ring segments can be applied to one person. Use clearly differentiated markers and supporting labels so each condition remains easy to identify.
What information should accompany a condition?
Where relevant and available, record the condition name, age or age of onset, status, treatment, source, and date reviewed. Follow the organization’s documentation and privacy requirements.
Does a medical history genogram diagnose inherited risk?
No. It organizes reported or documented family information for review. Clinical interpretation, diagnosis, and risk assessment should follow the appropriate professional workflow.
