Inbreeding has been shown in almost all species to be associated with impairment of function because of homozygosity of recessive alleles. This occurs across a wide range of traits and suggests a large number of deleterious alleles in the human genome.
22 gru 2022 · Among those people whose parents were related, the researchers picked out typical signs of human inbreeding, such as a few common health issues. Inbred children commonly displayed decreased cognitive abilities and muscular function, reduced height and lung function, and are at greater risk from diseases in general, they found.

20 gru 2023 · Discover the genetic problems associated with inbreeding, including increased risk of genetic diseases and decreased genetic diversity.
Inbreeding – the production of offspring from parents who are genetically close together – can lead to health problems. This is because there’s an increased risk of the offspring having a ‘recessive’ genetic disease.
