Royal dynasties as human inbreeding laboratories: the Habsburgs.

Heredity - 1 Aug 2013

Ceballos F C, Alvarez G

Abstract excerpt

The European royal dynasties of the Early Modern Age provide a useful framework for human inbreeding research. In this article, consanguineous marriage, inbreeding depression and the purging of deleterious alleles within a consanguineous population are investigated in the Habsburgs, a royal dynasty with a long history of consanguinity over generations. Genealogical information from a number of historical sources...
