If your two first cousins had a baby what would happen?

[Anonymous]

If your first cousin on you’re mother side and you’re first cousin on your dad side had a child together would they risk having genetic disorders?

Happens all the time in the UK. An older girl in was at school with was taken to Pakistan to marry her first cousin, they have three kids, one has down syndrome or something

No, not unless your mom and your dad are already related and you’re currently the product of their incest

They wouldn't be related other that to the mutual cousin

They'd have to be cousins on the same side to have any risk

No more than anyone else. They're not related at all.

My cousins two sides apart have no shared genes.

It's about 10% higher risk than non-related people.
