Inbreeding effect on morbidity: II. Analyses of a third survey including and excluding infant-juvenile mortality among Brazilian whites and Negroes.
Data on a survey involving 10,458 liveborn white and nonwhite (mulattoes and Negroes) persons have been analyzed to estimate B, A, and B/A for anomalies in general, both including and excluding infant-juvenile mortality. In both instances and race groups, the approximate estimates of those parameters were 0.5, 4.5, and 12. Inbreeding seems to disclose a predominantly mutational load.
