We’re looking forward to the feedback we can get from this very international group.

Stop by and talk to us in Nantes, January 2018

User testimonial

Mélanie Bérard – CHU Nord-Laënnec Nantes (University Hospital) France

(EN | FR)

“PedigreeXP is definitely intuitive”

Genetic counselor, Mélanie Bérard works in the Endocrinology Department of the Nord Laënnec Hospital in Nantes, France. She has been involved in the development of a care center for patients affected by familial hypercholesterolemia. Mélanie Bérard uses PedigreeXP daily.

Why did you choose PedigreeXP?

“My job is to screen people affected or at risk when there is a suspicion of family heredity or disposition. Thanks to PedigreeXP graphics engine, I can set accurate status to the members of a family: “Affected”, “Non-affected”, “Not examined”. This helps me visualize the family history and know “where we are” immediately. This way, I know precisely who I have to contact or get in touch with to initiate the cascade screening, or to address them to a doctor who will initiate the medical care.” 

What are the features that you like the most about PedigreeXP?

“PedigreeXP is definitely intuitive. Besides, I like the printing feature that lets the user set pedigrees layout.” Mélanie Bérard also highlights the management of complex pedigrees among PedigreeXP other product benefits.

(EN | FR)

“PedigreeXP est résolumment intuitif”

Conseillère en génétique, Mélanie Bérard travaille au sein du Service d’Endocrinologie du CHU Nord Laënnec de Nantes. Elle s’occupe plus particulièrement de développer un centre dédié à l’hypercholestérolémie familiale. Mélanie Bérard utilise PedigreeXP quotidiennement.

Pourquoi PedigreeXP ?

“Mon travail consiste à dépister les personnes atteintes d’hypercholestérolémie familiale ou qui présentent un risque lorsqu’il y a une suspicion d’hérédité familiale. Grâce au moteur graphique de PedigreeXP qui permet d’attribuer un statut clair aux membres d’une famille -« Atteint », « Non-atteint » « Inconnu » (dans l’application “Affected”, “Non-affected”, “Not examined”) -,  je peux visualiser instantanément l’histoire familiale et faire le point sur « Où en est-on ? ».  De cette façon, je sais exactement quels sont les membres de la famille que je dois informer ou relancer pour qu’ils soient dépistés et/ou adressés à un spécialiste qui débutera une prise en charge médicale».

Quels sont pour vous les bénéfices produit de PedigreeXP ?

“PedigreeXP est sans hésiter intuitif. Par ailleurs, j’aime ses fonctionnalités d’impression qui permettent de personnaliser la mise en page des arbres généalogiques. » Mélanie Bérard souligne également la gestion des familles nombreuses parmi les autres avantages produits de PedigreeXP.

Coefficient of consanguinity automatic calculation

Gain time in drawing and interpreting pedigrees linked to consanguineous marriages. PedigreeXP automatically calculates the coefficient of consanguinity and indicates it with a double-line.

Coefficient of consanguinity is the probability that a pair of alleles belonging to different individuals are the same, given their degree of common ancestry. Oxford Index

The offspring of consanguineous unions may be at increased risk to genetic disorders because of the expression of autosomal recessive gene mutations inherited from a common ancestor. The closer the biological relationship between parents, the greater is the probability that their offspring will inherit identical copies of one or more detrimental recessive mutations.

The coefficient of consanguinity is calculated and analysed to assist health professionals who provide genetic counseling and screening to related couples and their offspring.

It’s important for genetic counselors, geneticists or other health professionals to appropriately document and draw pedigrees of consanguineous marriages if present in the family.

“PedigreeXP is a time-saving software”

Genetic and onco-genetic counselor, Alexander Damette has been working in genetics for 15 years and for 7 years at the CHU Besançon. He collaborates with a cancer geneticist and a Doctor of Science who tracks people affected by a genetic mutation. He talks about PedigreeXP.

I finally chose PedigreeXP thanks to which I could keep my precious pedigrees and continue working with all my Cyrillic files. Today, I draw all new pedigrees with PedigreeXP.”

PedigreeXP product benefits

“Fast, intuitive and easy to use, PedigreeXP allows me to design my pedigrees during the consultations.” Furthermore, Mr. Damette highlights an essential quality of the product: the capture and export of BOADICEA data allowing it to simplify the calculation of scores.

“PedigreeXP est un logiciel de gain de temps”

Conseiller en génétique exerçant en onco-génétique, M. Alexandre Damette travaille dans la génétique depuis 15 ans, dont 7 ans au CHU de Besançon.
Il collabore avec un médecin onco-généticien et une attachée de recherche clinique qui assure le suivi des personnes porteuses d’une mutation génétique.

Face à l’impossibilité d’ouvrir mes fichiers, j’ai évalué différents logiciels. Mon choix s’est porté sur PedigreeXP qui m’a permis de conserver mes précieux arbres généalogiques et de continuer à travailler avec tous mes fichiers Cyrillic. Aujourd’hui, je dessine tous les nouveaux arbres généalogiques avec PedigreeXP.”

Les bénéfices produit de PedigreeXP

“Rapide, intuitif et simple d’utilisation, PedigreeXP me permet de concevoir mes arbres généalogiques durant les consultations.”
Par ailleurs, M. Damette souligne un bénéfice produit primordial : la saisie et l’export des données BOADICEA qui lui permettent de simplifier le calcul des scores.
