UN, uncle–nephew; HS, half-sib; GPO, grandparent–grandoffspring; GUGN, great-uncle–great-nephew; HUN, half-uncle–nephew; GGPO, great-grandparent–great-grandoffspring; C, cousin; C1R, cousin once removed; HC, half-cousin; Gt, great; G3PO, great-great-grandparent–great-great-grandoffspring; 2C, second cousin; HC1R, half-cousin once removed; G4PO, great-great-great-grandparent–great-great-great-grandoffspring; 2C1R, second cousin once removed; H2C, half second cousin; G5PO, great-great-great-great-grandparent–great-great-great-great-grandoffspring; 3C, third cousin; H2C1R, half second cousin once removed; G6PO, great-great-great-great-great-grandparent–great-great-great-great-great-grandoffspring.
Including uncle/aunt–nephew/niece.
Relationship not included in subsequent Tables as the distribution is identical to that for half-cousins.
Similarly, other relationships with the same R and family base but different pedigree are not analyzed, e.g., (full) cousins twice removed ≡ second cousins (R = 1/32), and half-cousins twice removed ≡ half second cousins (R = 1/64).
