Patient's question:
Patient Gender:Female
Patient Age:
24
Detailed Medical Condition and Purpose of Consultation: My parents are first cousins. My sister is deaf and mute. Can I have children in the future?
Doctor's answer:
Cousin marriage may make two people genetically similar, which can lead to hereditary diseases. Currently, many deaf and mute people are not congenital but caused by aminoglycoside drugs. There is no problem with fertility. Genetic tests can be performed if necessary.
