Effects of selection and mutation on epidemiology of X-linked genetic diseases by Francesca Verrilli, Hamed Kebriaei, Luigi Glielmo, Martin Corless, Carmen Del Vecchio

“…The epidemiology of X-linked recessive diseases, a class of genetic disorders, is modeled with a discrete-time, structured, non linear mathematical system. The model accounts for both de novo mutations (i.e., affected sibling born to unaffected parents) and selection (i.e., distinct fitness rates depending on individual's health conditions). …”
