Genetic burden

The genetic debt due to harmful mutation but as yet undischarged. (In a large population of fixed size every mutation with diminished genetic fitness will eventually become extinct, and depending on the details of inheritance and phenotype, must be paid for by a fixed number of genetic deaths per mutation, the genetic debt.)
