Effect of Inbreeding on Wechsler Intelligence Test Scores among North Indian Children

Badaruddoza, PhD

Department of Human Genetics, Guru Nanak Dev University, Punjab-India, badaruddoza_b{at}usp.ac.fj

The effects of inbreeding in humans on the intelligence has been investigated in the present study of offsprings of second cousin matings (F= 0.0156, n=138 male, 132 female), first cousins once removed (F= 0.03125, n=148 male, 138 female), first cousins (F= 0.0625, n=161 male, 151 female), and unrelated (F= 0, n= 194 male, 182 female) among North Indian Muslims. The Weschler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-R)-74 was given to the children in the both groups. An overall significant (p<0.001) reduction of means has been observed in inbred series. The results of this study confirm the appreciable inbreeding depression especially among the offspring of first cousins. Asia Pac J Public Health 2004; 16(2): 99-103.

Key Words: Inbreeding • intelligence quotient • North Indian children • WISC-R.
