Need docs answers! what genetic diseases could occur within a child born from incest?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Too many to list: There are in excess of 200 metabolic enzyme relates processes in the body that could result from two closely related carriers. There are also non enzyme processes that could result.We are all thought to carry up to 4 significant recessive genes, so a close pairing is always at high risk of at least one showing up with incest.
