A medical genogram is a sort of genogram that incorporates graphical representations of medical problems such as age, cause of death, inherited features, and any other information that may be used to determine disease risk. To make a medical genogram, first decide which genetic illnesses you want to include. Heart disease, cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, thyroid illness, certain birth defects, alcoholism, depression, and schizophrenia are all possibilities. Remember that you may always add new illnesses or modify the symbols to match your current needs in the future.
