Measuring the Efficiency of Purging by Nonrandom Mating in Human Populations

ABSTRACT: Human populations harbor a high concentration of deleterious genetic variants. Here, we tested the hypothesis that non-random mating practices affect the distribution of these variants, through exposure in the homozygous state, leading to their purging from the population gene pool.
