Social:First-degree relative
From HandWiki
Short description: One's offspring, sibling or parent
A first-degree relative (FDR) is a person's parent (father or mother), full sibling (brother or sister) or offspring.[1] It constitutes a category of family members that largely overlaps with the term nuclear family, but without spouses.[2]
If the persons are related by blood, the first degree relatives share approximately 50% of their genes. First-degree relatives are a common measure used to diagnose risks for common diseases by analyzing family history.[3]
