(1) It makes feasible the analysis of multilocus data observed on general pedigrees containing possibly consanguineous marriages and missing information.(2) As many Arab families produce more than four children, each consanguineous family might be expected to produce at least one child with u2018malignancies, congenital abnormalities, mental retardation and physical handicapu2019.(3) Individuals who belong to high risk ethnic groups or who are in a consanguineous relationship might also benefit from a genetic evaluation and counseling.(4) Thus, there also is no evidence for extensive consanguineous mating in the polygyne population of S. geminata that we studied.(5) Horizontal lines represent crosses, thick horizontal lines are consanguineous crosses, and vertical lines represent descendants from such matings.(6) We use the patterns of homozygosity at multiple loci to distinguish between excess homozygosity caused by consanguineous mating and that due to undetected population subdivision.(7) Recurrence of common complex diseases also may be increased in the children of consanguineous parents because of a greater proportion of shared genes.(8) Fully recessive mutations are maintained in higher frequencies than partially recessive ones and thus cause greater declines in fitness under consanguineous matings.(9) The patients and spouses were not consanguineous with each other.(10) The most obvious is the mating system, which generates u2018short-termu2019 inbreeding, i.e., inbreeding caused by one or a few generations of consanguineous matings.(11) Although many incest statutes apply only to consanguineous relationships, some apply to all legally sanctioned parent-child relationships.(12) A white female fetus was the product of the third pregnancy of consanguineous (first cousins) parents; the mother was 25 years old and the father 34.(13) A consanguineous sample of 410 Taiwanese mothers and adolescents was drawn from urban schools serving middle-income areas of Taiwan.(14) Besides consanguineous marriages, there are other reasons for a baby to be born with a defective heart.(15) The patients and spouses were not consanguineous to each other.(16) But risk is more in the case of consanguineous marriages.
