Modern obstetrical and infertility care may increase the prevalence of disease: an evolutionary concept.

Fertility and sterility - 1 Feb 2003

Gleicher Norbert

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To explore the hypothesis that the increasing prevalence of some polygenetically inherited conditions, may, to a degree, be the consequence of treatment successes of modern health care that have overcome evolutionary blocks to reproductive success.
