.... A less investigated factor in the epidemiology of psoriasis is the effect of parental consanguinity (inbreeding) on psoriasis risk in the offspring. The practice of consanguineous marriages, mating among close relatives, differs around the world, with the prevalence of consanguinity being low in Europe...

... contributes relatively little to a test of heritability but can contribute substantively to a test of linkage. For small-to-moderate quantitative trait locus (QTL) effects and a level of inbreeding comparable to matings between first cousins (the preferred form of union in many human populations), an inbred...

... carried by the parents' common ancestor. The inbreeding coefficient measures the probability of this event and increases with increasing relatedness between the parents. It is traditionally computed from the observed inbreeding loops in the genealogies and its accuracy thus depends on the depth...

... severity was assessed in patients by recording age at diagnosis. In healthy subjects, diabetes risk was studied by measuring the body mass index, fasting blood glucose (FBG) level, and waist circumference. Extended pedigrees were constructed to calculate inbreeding coefficients. To account for tribal...

... marriage. A commonly used measure to quantify identity by descent in an individual is the inbreeding coefficient, a quantity that reflects not only consanguinity, but also other aspects of kinship in the population to which the individual belongs. Here, in populations worldwide, we examine the relationship...

...Yoko Imaizumi The inbreeding coefficients (F) were estimated according to marital distance between birthplaces and the opportunity of encounter. As for marital distance, the F-value was the highest for the shortest distance (0.00252), whereas the F-values were similar in the other distance classes...

...Radha Rama Devi; Appaji Rao; A.H. Bittles The inbreeding patterns and coefficient of inbreeding (F) of 3,350 new-borns in Bangalore, Karnataka were determined. A total of 29.24% were born of consanguineous marriages, F = 0.02313. Inbreeding was most common among the Hindus: 23.56...
