In this video I have explained the risks of first cousin marriages in causing genetic disorders in children. To read more on this topic, I suggest the following articles:
Teeuw, M. E., Loukili, G., Bartels, E. A., Ten Kate, L. P., Cornel, M. C., & Henneman, L. (2014). Consanguineous marriage and reproductive risk: attitudes and understanding of ethnic groups practising consanguinity in Western society. European Journal of Human Genetics, 22(4), 452-457. doi.org/10.103...
Bittles, A. H. (2001). Consanguinity and its relevance to clinical genetics. Clinical genetics, 60(2), 89-98. doi.org/10.103... (this article has a very good geographical data about the countries or regions that practice consanguineous marriages, shows how consanguineous marriages are prevalent only in South India)
Shawky, R. M., Elsayed, S. M., Zaki, M. E., El-Din, S. M. N., & Kamal, F. M. (2013). Consanguinity and its relevance to clinical genetics. Egyptian Journal of Medical Human Genetics, 14(2). doi.org/10.101... (This article's introduction is very useful, however, I am not sure about the quality of the research data presented)
