Patient's question:
My in-laws are first cousins. I know that the risk of genetic diseases in offspring from close relatives is high, but my husband is healthy (currently 27 years old, with no noticeable abnormalities). However, I'm afraid he might carry many latent genetic disease genes, which could affect our future children. Is the risk higher than that of a general couple? (My husband and I have no blood relation.) The kind of help I care about: confirmation from experts in generational inheritance or eugenics.Doctor's answer:
According to your main complaint; prenatal examination should be conducted, which means a thorough check of genes and chromosomes. If the same chromosome or gene reappears in a couple, it is considered to cause the next generation to suffer from the disease or be undiagnosed. As long as the examination is problem-free and the same gene does not reappear, it will never lead to hereditary diseases. Life care: You can normally conceive the next generation. Wish the patient a quick recovery!
