Pedigree chart Cystic Fibrosis

A pedigree chart for Cystic Fibrosis (CF) visually represents the inheritance patterns of this autosomal recessive genetic disorder within a family. It uses standardized symbols to denote individuals, their relationships, and their health status concerning CF—whether they are affected, carriers, or unaffected. The chart helps identify carriers who possess one mutated CFTR gene and trace the likelihood of offspring inheriting the disorder when two carriers have children. By analyzing generations, healthcare professionals and genetic counselors can assess recurrence risks and advise on genetic testing or reproductive planning. Such charts are invaluable for understanding CF's genetic inheritance and guiding family discussions about the condition.
