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 involves a thorough check of genes and chromosomes. If the same chromosome or gene reappears in a couple, it is considered to potentially lead to offspring suffering from the disease or having undiagnosed issues. If the examination reveals no problems and the same gene does not reappear, it will definitely not lead to hereditary conditions.Lifestyle care: You can normally conceive offspring. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
