Pedigree Analysis Framework

A Python-based framework for analyzing pedigrees and estimating inheritance patterns using minimal phenotypic data.

Features

• Analyze pedigrees using only health status information (affected/unaffected)
• Estimate inheritance patterns (Autosomal Dominant, Autosomal Recessive, Y-linked)
• Calculate p-values using Monte Carlo simulation
• Parallel processing for improved performance on large pedigrees
• Simple .ped file input format

Installation

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/pedigree-analysis-framework.git
cd pedigree-analysis-framework
pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

from pedigree import Pedigree, Models

# Load pedigree data
ped = Pedigree()
ped.read_from_file("path/to/your/pedigree.ped")

# Analyze for Autosomal Dominant inheritance
p_value = ped.calc_p_value(Models.AutosomalDominant)
print(f"P-value for Autosomal Dominant inheritance: {p_value}")

# Analyze for Autosomal Recessive inheritance
p_value = ped.calc_p_value(Models.AutosomalRecessive)
print(f"P-value for Autosomal Recessive inheritance: {p_value}")

Input File Format

The framework accepts .ped files with the following format:

ID,Gender,Status,Father,Mother
0,M,U,N,N
1,F,A,N,N
2,M,U,0,1
3,F,A,0,1

• ID: Unique identifier for each individual
• Gender: M (Male) or F (Female)
• Status: A (Affected) or U (Unaffected)
• Father: ID of the father (N if unknown)
• Mother: ID of the mother (N if unknown)
