Hypothesis

How can we effectively represent complex genealogies in isolated populations?

Conclusion

PedNavigator facilitates the visual representation of complex family relationships, aiding in genetic studies.

Supporting Evidence

  • PedNavigator allows for easy navigation of complex genealogies.
  • The application can represent family relations and assist in genetic studies.
  • It integrates demographic, genetic, clinical, and phenotypic data.

Takeaway

PedNavigator is like a special map that helps researchers see how families are connected, even when there are lots of twists and turns.

Methodology

Developed a web-based application to visually navigate complex genealogies using a database.

Limitations

Existing software cannot fully represent the complex pedigrees encountered in this study.

Participant Demographics

Inhabitants of small villages in Ogliastra, Sardinia, Italy.
