Abstract

SummaryThe distribution of consanguineous marriages among spouses and husband's and wife's parents, was analysed using data on 9225 families in six widely different areas of Japan. With two exceptions, the consanguinity rates for husband's and wife's parents are higher in related spouses than in unrelated spouses. The familial aggregation of consanguinity was slightly decreased in more recent marriages, a change which began recently with couples who have abandoned the more traditional Japanese way of life.
