Offspring of biologically related persons are subject to the possible effects of inbreeding, such as congenital birth defects. Inbreeding results in the phenotypic expression of deleterious recessive alleles within a population. As a result, first-generation inbred individuals show physical and health defects. Some of the defects include:
