A pedigree is a symbolic diagram that is used to show the presence and presentation of specific alleles in the families of both parents. This is used mostly for genetically controlled diseases and conditions.

A pedigree is also composed in a way, with shapes and colors, that is an easy to understand visual representation of the inheritance patterns.
