Book excerpt: Excerpt from Consanguineous Marriages in the American Population Much space is given to the alleged innate horror of incest, and frequent appeals are made to Scripture, wrongly assuming that the marriage of cousins is prohibited in the Mosaic Law. The origin of prohibited degrees is only conjectural. The Christian Church apparently borrowed its prohibitory canons from the Roman Law,1 and a dispensation is still necessary before a Catholic can marry his first cousin. However, such dispensations have always been easy to Ob tain, especially by royal families, and even the marriage of uncle and niece sometimes occurs, as among the Spanish Habsburgs, and as recently as 1889 in the House of Savoy. The prohibition of the marriage of first cousins was re moved in England by the Marriage Act of but by this time the idea of the harmfulness of kinship marriage was so thoroughly impressed upon the people that they were very prone to look askance at such unions, and if they were followed by any defective progeny, the fact would be noted, and looked upon as a chastisement visited upon the parents for their sin. Naturally the idea became proverbial, and in some places it has influenced the civil law. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Whether consanguineous marriages are themselves, by the mere fact Of consanguinity, and irrespective Of any in heritance, injurious to the Offspring. Whether, in a marriage between two relatives who are both perfectly healthy, live under healthy conditions, and whose families are perfectly healthy, the children born will probably be unhealthy? II. Whether consanguineous marriages give a greater proportion Of unhealthy children than non-consanguineous marriages; or, in other words, whether it is a fact that con sanguineous marriages, through intensification of a previously dormant hereditary family taint, give a greater proportion of unhealthy children?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Marriage of First Cousins The question of kinship in marriage, within what degrees it should be permitted, and whether near of kin Should be allowed and even encouraged to marry has attracted attention and provoked discussion from very early times. Reasoned Objection to marriages of near kin on the grounds Of harm to the Offspring, however, seems to be of relatively late growth. Plato, in the Laws, says that the reason why such marriages are forbidden (he is re ferring to the marriage of brother and sister) is simply habit and custom, as were such marriages allowed people would marry those most like themselves, which would prevent the proper mixture of character and property.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Marriage of Near Kin: Considered With Respect to the Law of Nations, the Results of Experience, and the Teachings of Biology 0f the many shortcomings of the work the author is fully aware; but he does not pretend to have attempted exhaustive inquiry, for which, in the present state of our knowledge, a lifetime would be too short. He will be satis fed if he has only succeeded in showing how rotten is the foundation of what many people accept as demonstrated truths, leaving to others the task of building a worthier edifice. For every statement the author has given a refer ence to his authority, which with the index to Authors quoted is amply suficient for verification he hopes, therefore, that if his work does not help to decide the question as to the advisability of marriage between near hin, it will at least serve as a hand-book to the literature of the subject, and prevent certain authors from assuming as demonstrated, a question whose investigation is as yet.

Book excerpt: This volume presents, for the first time, evidence for non-royal consanguineous marriage in ancient Egypt.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past two decades, genetics of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) have been extensively studied. The introduction of newborn screening programs in most western countries for CAH caused by 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD) and genetic studies in different ethnic populations have enabled more accurate data concerning the distribution and incidence of CAH and revealed ethnic-specific mutations. Worldwide, the most common mutations in the severe salt-wasting form of 21OHD are the IVS2, the intron 2 splicing mutation, and a large deletion in exon 3. In non-classic 21OHD the most common mutation worldwide is V281L (1685 G to T), being prevalent in about 60% of non-classic patients. This article summarizes the current knowledge on the observed geographical differences of mutation spectra of CAH in specific ethnic groups.
Download or read book Consanguinity Its Impact Consequences and Management written by Lutfi A. Jaber and published by Bentham Science Publishers. This book was released on 2014-05-23 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consanguineous marriages have been practiced for hundreds of years, predominantly by Moslems. Although it is generally accepted among communities that the social advantages outweigh other, the rate of congenital malformations and genetic diseases among the offspring borne of consanguineous marriages is higher and an increase in sterility, rates of abortions, stillbirths and neonatal deaths has been suggested by some researchers. These problems result in a substantial economic burden within the communities involved in the practice. Strategies for reducing the frequency of consanguineous marriages include expansion of educational programs, promotion of genetic testing services, and research to identify the genes responsible for genetic defects. Nowadays, with the migration of large numbers of Moslems towards Western countries, consanguinity is becoming a practical issue in places where it was barely known, previously. This eBook serves as a guide for health care workers and counselors of the phenomenon and its associated problems. This eBook begins with an introduction of the topic from a social, legal and biological perspective. It then progresses to research about associated genetic disorders, reproductive and social awareness issues through the proceeding chapters. The eBook concludes with 2 chapters exploring strategies to counter the effects of consanguinity within the general population.
