-Help train student’s family evaluation ability based on the data collection and find the risk factor that affect health.

Standardization reason• There are discrepancies even in common

symbols used to record a genetic family history.

• No consensus was noted in recording situations representing assisted reproductive technologies.

• Standardization of pedigree nomenclature is important, much as it was useful to develop universal cytogenetic nomenclature.

（ Bennett et al., 1995 2008; Rice, 1946）

Standardization reason

• In 1995, the Pedigree Standardization Task Force (PSTF) of the National Society of Genetic Counselors (NSGC) proposed a system of pedigree nomenclature.(now called the Pedigree Standardization Work Group or PSWG)

• Frequent usage, consistency among symbols, computer compatibility, and ability to adapt to the rapid changes in human genetics were considered.

（ Bennett et al., 1995 2008; Rice, 1946）
