A scheme is proposed for the analysis of X‐linked recessive pedigrees using programmable calculators. The analysis of such pedigrees is reduced to two easily programmable operations that can be used by the counsellor in a step‐wise fashion, entering the pedigree information sequentially. It is envisaged that programmable calculators could be a useful tool in general and specialised genetic counselling clinics.
