Consanguineous (ˌkɒnsaŋˈɡwɪnɪəs)

Meaning of consanguineous in English:

consanguineous

ADJECTIVE

Relating to or denoting people descended from the same ancestor.
‘consanguineous marriages may give rise to recessive syndromes’

Origin
Early 17th century from Latin consanguineus ‘of the same blood’ (from con- ‘together’ + sanguis ‘blood’) + -ous.

Pronunciation /ˌkɒnsaŋˈɡwɪnɪəs/
‘We use the patterns of homozygosity at multiple loci to distinguish between excess homozygosity caused by consanguineous mating and that due to undetected population subdivision.’
‘It makes feasible the analysis of multilocus data observed on general pedigrees containing possibly consanguineous marriages and missing information.’
Horizontal lines represent crosses, thick horizontal lines are consanguineous crosses, and vertical lines represent descendants from such matings.’
‘Fully recessive mutations are maintained in higher frequencies than partially recessive ones and thus cause greater declines in fitness under consanguineous matings.’
‘Thus deleterious recessives had not been eliminated from the population to the extent that consanguineous matings were harmless in terms of offspring viability.’
‘The most obvious is the mating system, which generates ‘short-term’ inbreeding, i.e., inbreeding caused by one or a few generations of consanguineous matings.’
‘Thus, there also is no evidence for extensive consanguineous mating in the polygyne population of S. geminata that we studied.’
