[quote=Anonymous]Something I have wondered about. If two totally unrelated people marry, but one spouse comes from a long line of double first cousin and first cousin marriages, are the children more susceptible to inherited conditions than you would otherwise find? It may be just coincidence, but DH is the product of a double first cousin marriage, as were both his parents. Before that there were first cousin marriages, but don't know if they were double or not. Half the children in his family have a rare inherited disorder. Among our own children we have epilepsy--otherwise not in either family, as well as two autoimmune disorders known to be inherited. For one we don't know of any precedent, but the other also occurred in one of his double first cousins.[/quote]
