This study introduces a visual method for entering human family data into computer databases using graphic interfaces. This approach enhances ease of use for pedigree analysis, particularly for occasional users, and aids in genetic risk assessment.

Area of Science:

  • Computer Science
  • Genetics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Traditional methods for inputting human family data into computer databases can be cumbersome.
  • Pedigree analysis software often requires specialized knowledge, limiting accessibility for occasional users.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a visual approach for inputting human family information into computer databases.
  • To highlight the advantages of graphic interfaces for pedigree analysis programs.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the GEM graphic interface on the Atari ST for data input.
  • Demonstrated the transferability of the approach to other platforms like Apple Macintosh and IBM PC AT.

Main Results:

  • The visual approach significantly improves ease of use and accessibility for occasional users of pedigree analysis programs.

  • The system facilitates genetic risk assessment, exemplified by Huntington disease analysis using Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms (RFLPs).

    • Conclusions:

    • Graphic interfaces offer substantial benefits for the usability of pedigree analysis software.
    • Further development is needed to address the increased programming demands associated with graphic interfaces.
