Family history
- Where possible, take a three generational family history including 1° relatives (children, siblings, parents) and 2° relatives (aunts, uncles and grandparents) on both sides of the family
- Note:
- Ethnic background (ancestry and culture)
- Adoption
- Age at diagnosis
- Age and cause of death
- Birth defects, stillbirths and miscarriages
- There are no insurance or privacy implications from taking a family history.
