A pedigree is a family tree that is used to analyze the inheritance of traits, diseases, or disorders. A genetic counselor prepares this to identify affected relatives and to determine the chances of passing down genetic disorders to offspring. Carrier detector and prenatal diagnosis are specific tests or procedures used to detect carriers of genetic diseases or to diagnose genetic disorders before birth, respectively. Genetic diagnosis is a broader term that refers to any method of identifying a genetic condition.
