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.

To address this issue, we need to understand people's experiences and knowledge about these genetic risks.
