  • The absolute risk of birth defects or genetic conditions is still relatively low in most cases. If the baseline risk for a child born to unrelated parents is 2-3%, the risk in first cousin marriages increases to around 4-6%. This is not a massive increase but is still significant.
  • The risk varies depending on family history. If genetic disorders already exist in the family, the risk for the offspring may be higher.
