Brief Answer:
Can aggravate any possible genetic problems.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Your uncle's daughter is a close relation for you. Marrying her can aggravate the genetic diseases that run in your family. You need to consult a geneticist to rule out any genetic problems and the further prognosis of the child.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.

Brief Answer:
Consult a genetic counsellor.

Detailed Answer:
You need to consult a genetic counsellor. It is better to avoid such a marriage as the risk of having a genetically diseased baby cannot be fully calculated.
