The Building Blocks of Life: Kristen Symonds

The colourful environment of the clinics attended by children and their parents.

This is Carolyn drawing a pedigree while learning about the family history of two boys with autism.

Each patient file contains a pedigree like this. Robyn will use these pedigrees to determine who needs to be tested for MD genes. The shaded square is an affected male. The circles are females. In this family, the mother and sister would be tested first. If they don’t have the MD gene, testing stops there. If they do, the other women in the family (circles on the chart) will need to be tested.
