Interpreting Family Histories and Identifying Patients Part 2 course for GPs
This is the second of three sessions that consider interpreting family histories and identifying patients with, or at risk of, a genetic condition.
Here we cover several important X-linked recessive conditions, including haemophilia A and Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The X-linked form of retinitis pigmentosa and the inheritance of Fragile X syndrome are also discussed.
This session was reviewed by Khyati Bakhai and last updated in January 2019.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this session you will be able to:
- Recognise X-linked recessive patterns of inheritance
- Interpret a family history / family tree
- Describe how genetic probability is estimated for X-linked recessive conditions
- Describe how some genetic conditions can show heterogeneity
This session will give you the opportunity to explore how to use family history and knowledge of inheritance patterns to identify patients with, or at risk of, X-linked recessive genetic conditions.
