Eldorado Posted December 2, 2019 #1 Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) "The “Habsburg jaw,” a facial condition of the Habsburg dynasty of Spanish and Austrian kings and their wives, can be attributed to inbreeding, according to new results published in the Annals of Human Biology. "The new study combined diagnosis of facial deformities using historical portraits with genetic analysis of the degree of relatedness to determine whether there was a direct link. The researchers also investigated the genetic basis of the relationship. "Generations of intermarriage secured the family’s influence across a European empire including Spain and Austria for more than 200 years but led to its demise when the final Habsburg monarch was unable to produce an heir. "However, until now no studies have confirmed whether the distinct chin known as “Habsburg jaw” was a result of inbreeding."
