Brief Answer:
The possible genetic defects are unavoidable.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I can understand your concern. Getting married among the blood relations increases the chances of genetic related disorders in the children which are mostly unpredictable and unavoidable. They need to consult a genetic counselor before planning to conceive so that they know about the likely genetic defects that their future child might have.
The treatment can be done only after a defect is detected.
Hope this answer is helpful.
Any further queries are welcome.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
