A pedigree chart can provide valuable information about the inheritance patterns of genetic conditions within a family, but it is not typically used to diagnose Down syndrome. Down syndrome is usually diagnosed through genetic testing, such as karyotyping, which identifies the presence of an extra chromosome 21. While a pedigree can indicate familial trends in genetic disorders, it does not confirm the presence of Down syndrome in an individual.
