My boyfriend's grandmother and my grandmother are first cousins. What about our children?

Patient's question:

My grandmother and his grandmother are first cousins. Will our children have problems? How can we pay attention when planning to have children?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, as you mentioned, it indicates that your boyfriend's parents are close relatives, such as first cousins, etc. Then your boyfriend is a child born from a close relative marriage, which may carry some genetic diseases, but they haven't manifested yet. However, this is really hard to say.
