The impact of Fisher’s Reproductive Compensation on raising equilibrium frequencies of semi-dominant, non-lethal mutations under mutation/selection balance
2021-11-23
Abstract excerpt
Fisher’s reproductive compensation (fRC) occurs when a species’ demography means the death of an individual allows increased survival of his/her relatives, usually assumed to be full sibs. This likely occurs in many species, including humans. Several important recessive human genetic diseases cause early foetal/infant death allowing fRC to act on these mutations. The impact of fRC on these genetic conditions has b...
