Designate a proband for the pedigree with a disease or condition of interest. Write a 750-1,000-word summary of your findings. Include the following information: Discussion of the heredity patterns discovered. Evaluate the risk of transmission to other/new family members. Propose the feasibility of using this tool in your own practice.]]>
