Asking for Self, Female, 26 years old, Pakistan
Salam Respected Dr! I am from Pakistan.
I need your opinion about Consanguinity. I got a proposal from my first both parents are mutually first cousins too.
My issue is that his(who sent proposal) brother recently diagnosed with adult onset of grand mal epilepsy.
I read on Google that research show that in about 60% cases parents of epileptic patient were found to be cousins.
Accepting this proposal & getting married to this cousin will increase chances of epilepsy in future generation?
Being a doctor,i am very much concerned about that. Kindly give your valuable opinion on this matter. Regards!

Dear admins,tag some neurologist or genetic expert here.
This has nothing to do with gynae.
Thankyou.
