The survivals of the three genotypes used in this simulation are shown in the lower part of graph at the intersections with vertical lines which point to the results in the upper part of graph

In the upper panel, initial negative excess of relative fitness (blue bars) in the inbred population is the effect of recessive lethal alleles

An excess of α-thalassemia allele (red bars) is seen after 5–6 generations – after allele frequency (black S-shape line) is increased to around 0.2. Relative excess of α-thalassemia is maximal when its frequency is in the middle of the range (~0.35–0.7). Results are for = 1000 and the ratio of differential survival = 1.39. In the lower panel, the calculated relative fitness includes only the effect of α-thalassemia. The fitness ratio is the size of inbred population divided with that of outbred population. The results are for → ∞ and the ratio of differential survival = 1.39.<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "Consanguineous marriages and endemic malaria: can inbreeding increase population fitness?"</p><p>http://www.malariajournal.com/content/7/1/150</p><p>Malaria Journal 2008;7():150-150.</p><p>Published online 2 Aug 2008</p><p>PMCID:PMC2527611.</p><p></p
