Abstract Background: The “Habsburg jaw” has long been associated with inbreeding due to the high prevalence of consanguineous marriages in the Habsburg dynasty. However, it is thought that mandibular prognathism (MP) is under the influence of a dominant major gene. Aim: To investigate the relationship between the “Habsburg jaw” and the pedigree-based inbreeding coefficient (F) as a relative measure of genome homozygosity. Subjects and methods: The degree of MP and maxillary deficiency (MD) of… Expand

3D facial phenotyping by biometric sibling matching used in contemporary genomic methodologies
TLDR
A data-driven, family-informed strategy to facial phenotyping that searches for biologically relevant traits and reduces multivariate 3D facial shape variability into amendable univariate measurements, while preserving its structurally complex nature is reported on. Expand
Maxillary sagittal expansion in an adult patient
TLDR

Segregation analysis of mandibular prognathism in Korean orthognathic surgery patients and their families.
TLDR
The results suggest that the inherited susceptibility to MP in Korean Class III patients might be due to the summation of minor effects from a variety of different genes and/or influence of environmental factors, rather than Mendelian transmission of major genes. Expand
Royal Inbreeding and the Extinction of Lineages of the Habsburg Dynasty
TLDR
It is shown that the interaction between inbreeding and historical contingency is critical for the understanding of the downfall of the Spanish Habsburgs and the continuity of the Austrian lineage. Expand
Major gene and multifactorial inheritance of mandibular prognathism
TLDR
It is concluded that there is a major gene that influences the expression of mandibular prognathism with clear signs of Mendelian inheritance and a multifactorial component. Expand
Royal dynasties as human inbreeding laboratories: the Habsburgs
TLDR
Empirical support is provided that human inbreeding depression for some fitness components might be purged by selection within consanguineous populations. Expand
Identification of a Mutation in FGF23 Involved in Mandibular Prognathism
TLDR
It is discovered that c.35C>A mutation in FGF23 strongly associated with MP is discovered, which expand the understanding of the genetic contribution to MP pathogenesis. Expand
On the genetics of mandibular prognathism: analysis of large European noble families.
TLDR
A pedigree comprising 13 families with 409 members in 23 generations in which mandibular prognathism has been segregating is constructed, showing that the presumed dominant gene is not fully penetrant in the heterozygous state. Expand
Segregation Analysis of Mandibular Prognathism in Libya
TLDR
Segregation analysis of a prognathic mandible in the entire dataset supported a transmissible Mendelian major effect, with a dominant mode of inheritance determined to be the most parsimonious. Expand
The Role of Inbreeding in the Extinction of a European Royal Dynasty
TLDR
The results indicate that inbreeding at the level of first cousin exerted an adverse effect on survival of 17.8%±12.3, and a statistically significant inbreeding depression for survival to 10 years is detected in the progenies of the Spanish Habsburg kings. Expand
Genetic Factors Involved in Mandibular Prognathism.
TLDR
A multifactorial and polygenic background with a threshold for expression or an autosomal dominant mode with incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity are the most probable inheritance patterns for mandibular prognathism. Expand
The Habsburg Jaw—Re‐examined
TLDR
The results of this study suggest that the primary deformity of the “Habsburg Jaw” is maxillary deficiency rather than absolute mandibular prognathism. Expand
