∙ 11y agoIn a pedigree, the square boxes denote the male progeny. Similarly, circles denote the female. A shaded box or circle denote the mutated or diseased progeny.
I've seen it the other way around also; so it is best to look for a legend or to look at names or to see if it says which are males or females.

The squares may be male and the circles female, or the other way around. I have seen it either way. Look for a legend, or look for names, or look to see if it says somewhere which is male and which is female.
