What Do You Know About Genetics?
Consanguineous marriage is a major risk factor for autosomal recessive diseases (ARS), both in terms of morbidity and long-term mortality. Due to significant immigration to Sweden from countries where cousin marriage is common, the prevalence of ARS is expected to increase in the coming years. This increase will have substantial costs, both economically for society and in terms of human suffering for individuals. To address this issue, we need to understand people's experiences and knowledge about these genetic risks.
