For the period 1875-1975 an isonymic analysis was made based on 41,696 marriages celebrated in three valleys (Tormes, Alberche and Tietar) from Gredos (Spain). Total inbreeding (Ft) was lower in the Tietar valley (0.0103- 0.0136), followed by the Tormes (0.0125-0.0255) and the Alberche (0.0153-0.0200). In the latter, random inbreeding (Fr) surpassed non random (Fn). Correlation coefficients wer...

The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to assess the risk of developing endemic nephropathy in subjects with proteinuria from the endemic region in Croatia. The cohort st...
