The proband is the first affected family member who seeks medical attention for a genetic disorder. Diagnosing the proband raises suspicion that other family members may have the same disease, and some relatives may then also be diagnosed. Studying a proband and their relatives helps researchers disentangle the genetic and environmental factors involved in a disorder.
