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.
A new analysis of 66 early humans’ remains has revealed an astounding 75 instances of skeletal abnormalities, from bowed femur and arm bones to misshapen jaws, dwarfism, and a swollen braincase...

3 wrz 2019 · Here, we leverage a large observational study of ~450,000 participants of European ancestry from the UK Biobank (UKB) to quantify extreme inbreeding (EI) and its consequences.
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.
14 paź 2014 · The Wechsler Intelligence Scales for Children (WISC) was used to measure the verbal IQ (VIQ), performance IQ (PIQ) and full scale IQ (FSIQ). Family pedigrees were drawn to access the family history and children’s inbred status in terms of coefficient of inbreeding (F).
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.
