Consanguineous marriages, including unions between cousins, are associated with an increased risk of inherited genetic conditions. Many individuals carry silent gene variations that typically do not cause harm because a healthy copy compensates for them.
However, when partners share a close biological relationship, the likelihood of carrying the same altered gene increases significantly. If both parents pass this gene to their child, certain disorders—particularly autosomal recessive conditions—may develop.
Pre-marital and pre-conception genetic counseling, along with carrier screening, are essential steps toward informed family planning, early risk identification, and preventive healthcare.
At Blossom Fetal Medicine & Genetics Centre, we provide evidence-based genetic evaluation, personalized risk assessment, and compassionate counseling to help couples make informed reproductive decisions with clarity and confidence.
