A pedigree is a diagrammatic representation of a family tree that provides important information about the inheritance pattern of genetic disorders. It helps to identify the affected individuals, carrier status, mode of inheritance, and the likelihood of recurrence in the offspring. Amniocentesis, karyotype, and chorionic villus sampling are methods of prenatal diagnosis that involve analyzing the fetal DNA to detect genetic abnormalities.
