QUICK BUILD

Describe the family — get the chart

Quick Build is the fastest way to start a pedigree. Instead of dragging boxes, you answer plain questions about the family, and the maker adds the people, unions, and shading for you — with the correct symbols applied automatically.

What it understands

  • • Parents, partners, and ex-partners
  • • Children, including twins and adoptions
  • • Affected, carrier, and presymptomatic people
  • • Proband and consultand
  • • Deceased relatives
  • • Consanguineous unions (e.g. first cousins)

After the conversation, the chart is fully editable — add anyone with the toolbar, adjust symbols in the inspector, auto-arrange, and export exactly as usual.

# Sample conversations

> “A man and a woman have a son and a daughter.”

✔ Union created; two children placed under it.

> “The son is affected with cystic fibrosis.”

✔ Son shaded; trait “cystic fibrosis” created; son set as proband.

> “The mother’s brother is also affected.”

✔ Brother added beside the mother; shaded; parents linked.

> “The parents are first cousins.”

✔ Union marked consanguineous with a double line.
