I don't know what role inbreeding played, but the blue people (the Fugate family) had a blood disorder called methemoglobinemia.

This sort of reminds me of the origin of the term "blueblood", which came from European royalty being so inbred that they were pale (and hemophiliacs, too), so their veins showed prominently through the skin.
